Original prediction: We won’t see accelerated adoption of interoperability standards (e.g., HL7 ® , HL7 ® Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources or FHIR ® ). Increasingly, machines are much less discriminating between a finely structured FHIR document and a poorly scanned PDF—and the latter may be richer than the former.
