British Health Secretary Patricia Hewitt has been asked to block an attempt by BT to oust GE Healthcare as the provider of electronic medical record software for the London region and replace the company with rival Cerner. BT officials are reportedly unhappy with the slow pace of GE's implementation effort on the project. Last year, Fujitsu made waves when it dumped IDX for Cerner in the U.K.'s southern region. Of course, any change will have major implications for both GE Healthcare and Kansas City-based Cerner.
