Although barriers are significant, sharing can produce bi-directional benefits. Given the right project, sharing model, and collaborative adopters, dissemination can benefit informatics developers, adopting informatics teams, and end users. Systems tend to improve when responsive developers can rely on an active user base for new use cases and feature requests. Research systems with users across multiple institutions also can catalyze scientific collaboration and development across networks [25]. Adopting teams inherit and benefit from a well-developed system, freeing their local developers to innovate in other domains.
