What are they doing "blindly"? Can you offer specfics?

I don't think they ever wanted to knock on the door of a large hospital. Why do you insist that they must find a way to do this? More importantly, why so immediately? Of course they know they can't compete with Epic, Cerner, etc. So they're not even trying.
It's quite possible that enough small practices adopt a system for it to be hard for big hospitals NOT to notice. Then hospitals will be knocking on their door. Many many markets have been disrupted this way, where the big players don't take small ones seriously until it's too late.
