It's actually *less* about "big healthcare" than it is about finding
some of the people that I remember specializing in e-health related
items. I remember some websites way back in late 2004.

In fact, some of the people that have recently contacted me are
looking for community-style solutions (think more about training /
elearning related to healthcare). I'm trying to help make some
connections.

There ARE some interesting thoughts regarding, well, a buzzword I just
made up :P, called "user centric healthcare" -- control over records
and treatments. But that gets into (in the US) HIPPA and really really
hairy data privacy and access, which as KarenS points out is highly
connected to access control.

And a final area is replacing those green screen / DOS apps used to
manage medical offices with Drupal-based practice management systems.
Scheduling, billing, connecting to upstream EDI-based insurance
systems, etc. etc.
