Patient care today is disjointed, and most collaborators don't know what they are doing for a patient in real-time.

As of today, EHR apps are usually restricted to "legal entities" (e.g., a single hospital or hospital system or a single practice). To provide integrated and coordinated health care, EHR systems must open themselves up to outside boundaries, but few have done so.
