The history of implementation of interoperabilit y standards (HL7 v2, CDA, DICOM, IEE and others) tells us that an intention to purchase "standards based products" is a great start however in practice requires an additional layer of implementation specification or profiles building on the base standards - this requires that workflows are specified and that the standards have optionality and additional standards such as vocabulary need to be locked down. Vendor implementation need to be tested in Connecthathons (and sometimes by conformance testing).
