I'm definitely in favor of moving towards electronic medical records but it's somewhat scary that Google has already created a program to do so. The goals of Google Health are to:
- Organize your health information all in one place.
- Gather your medical records from doctors, hospitals and pharmacies
- Share your information securely with a family member, doctors or caregivers
I really don't know what to make of Google Health. Will it be necessary to have a third party, such as Google, maintain electronic records in the future?
Google is taking over the world. It's amazing but a bit scary, as well. (I say through blogger.)
