Banks and healthcare organizations seem to have a lot in common, with large consolidation (IDNs for health, big banks for finance) but a lot of community banks /small practice
Been looking a little at the parallels between fintech/banking and health tech/hospitals.

When looking at software for main enterprises, I looked mostly at "core banking" as a parallel to the EHR. Would be interested in those who know more about this industry if that& #39;s correct.
In health, main enterprise software is dominated by several large companies (Epic, Cerner, Athena, Allscripts, Meditech)
In core banking, Fiserv, FIS and Jack Henry are the traditional three, with Finastra being newer.

A lot of the complaints about these softwares echo what we hear about EHRs. A lack of easy integration, not cloud enabled, difficult to migrate to new systems, poor support.
As a result, some small banks looking to stay innovative and competitive are switching to cloud startup alternatives (Nymbus, Neocova, Finxact, Technisys, Temenos, etc). Others face risk of consolidation with larger banks.

Sounds a lot like innovative telehealth, care coordination, DPC, etc looking at newer EHRs like @ElationHealth @drchrono @GoKareo hoping they offer a better experience there.
It sounds like the newest of the entrants of the "Big 4", Finastra, has been trying to pivot to a cloud platform approach, building less, but performing the core foundation for fintech companies to build on.
Reminds me of a lot of Athena MDP. https://www.digfingroup.com/finastra/ ">https://www.digfingroup.com/finastra/...

Another article on the topic: #5d6cd5ba13de">https://www.forbes.com/sites/tomgroenfeldt/2019/10/24/seattle-bank-is-ready-to-replace-fiserv-with-a-modern-core-banking-system-from-finastra/ #5d6cd5ba13de">https://www.forbes.com/sites/tom...
It& #39;s not super clear to me what the biggest players in banking use for core. I see some mention of Temenos in regards to JP Morgan and Finastra for US Bank, but overall, casual Googling didn& #39;t make it clear.
Maybe more homegrown software (different than health).

Looking at how these institutions share data - the Open Banking movement (pushing open APIs) closely parallels the growth of health APIs lately - SMART on FHIR, MU3 APIs, Cures.
Distinct difference - it started in EU and the USA actually lags / has less regulation promoting it.

Nice write-up on open banking here:

So I& #39;ll stop there with the metaphor for today to hear what people think about HCOs/banks and EHRs/core banking software, but still have some thoughts for the future on banking data aggregators and integration to cover.
