Problems at Dossia?
July 19, 2007
The Dossia Consortium is reportedly in crisis according a to report by Information Week. This major PHR initiative (PHR for Life) includes some major employers but the story Dossia has sued the company they contracted with to build the PHR to prevent from being sued and that the company failed to deliver (mid-July was meant to be the first online evidence of the PHR for some users). TMCNet reports on a history of disappointments.
Generally it is a disappointment that more could not be accomplished with that kind of corporate financial backing. But maybe it was a choice of the wrong contractor to build such a comprehensive solution in a PHR market which has yet to see much consolidation or adoption.
