title: State laws: a stumbling block for systems integration?
abstract: Health care providers and insurers moving to form networks face a raft of state regulations on the purchase of equipment or the addition of new services, selective contracting, the hiring of physicians, referral practices and licensure. Two of these of regulations, the "any-willing-provider" laws and certificate-of-need laws, are making headlines in some states.
