I can see this. The two big vendors are pushing their own cloud. One slip-up on their end will do it.
This becomes even more plausible now that third-party access is required to be supported. It's becoming easier for these third-parties to slurp up as much patient data as they can. Data from health systems will become much more vulnerable to exploit and the possibility of having all patient data exposed is increased. Likely worse than Equifax and/or Cambridge Analytica.
