Electronic Medcal Records (EMR) are here to stay. Yes, we have to trust the technology that holds our private and personal information. If Google or anyone else wants to get into this business that need to secure the confidence of the consumer. We also need laws that will hold service providers accountable to leaks and exposed data. But, lets not get paranoid. Who wants to know about your hemoroid problem? It's not exciting news. But, if you're in rural Wyoming and you're in a serious car wreck. You will want the staff at the ER to know as much about you as possible before they start digging in to fix you up. I look forward to a secure EMR system in the future. Get real people.

It appears that Google will buy some of these EMR companies to get the medical records they need to get up and running. We need to talk to our doctors and make sure they do not use an interface with a search engine company to get to your charts. You will probably be told that it will be a great system and that you will be able to add and delete your own medical record; however that’s not entirely true. Shannon,

I am already alarmed that my internist has switched to electronic records, and now they will be accessible online? This will only make it easier for insurance companies to find an excuse to deny coverage. Enough is enough, we need to stand against this. Why isn't everyone outraged?

Wouldn't the insurance companies (and the Government) just LOVE to get their hands on this megabase. How long before it's hacked and sold? (Especially from a Google insider)!!!
