IT: Medical Banking Network's ambitious plans

There appears to be growing support from major players for a new plan which will create a network allowing banks and healthcare providers to exchange patients' financial and medical information, the Nashville Business Journal reports. The Medical Banking Network says it has recruited dozens of big name companies, including PricewaterhouseCoopers, BearingPoint and Cerner, to participate in the plan. Details of the open-source project are fuzzy, but according to the Journal, the network will "rely on a Google-like" concept and not use a central database.
