I think the questions that really come out at me are:
Can the Surface integrate with other EMR systems like Cerner, Meditech, Allscripts, etc?
Do other PHR systems work with Amalga and Surface out of the box?
Can systems built on HealthVault (like Mayo Clinic’s Health Manager) integrate to Surface quickly?
The cost of a Surface is $12,500 per unit today. When are we looking at a ~$2,000 price point so that these devices are actually practically priced for the exam room?
If you have answers, or more questions, please add them as comments. I am trying to get the questions answered through the Microsoft Health teams.
