In our post “How Danish healthcare authorities will create the short list for final software vendor selection” we guesstimated that Cambio, Epic and Systematic (IBM) would make it to the short list. We actually had Cambio as the winner.  We were wrong on that one, but got the two other right. Welcome to Cerner in the final competition.

We will keep following the project and will provide an update in the near future.
