The potential for network effects in health information systems and patient care management is huge.  Physicians would value other physicians (and patients) being on the same network so that they could share data and coordinate patient care. Patients would like to communicate with their physicians and to coordinate care for themselves. Managers can benefit from information about patient health status and the operation of the health system.
