Google Helps Organize Medical Records - WSJ.com

Google Helps Organize Medical Records - WSJ.com: "Google Inc. unveiled its health service, which allows consumers to manage their medical records and receive health advice online.

The new service lets users create an electronic health profile by pulling together medical records imported from organizations such as pharmacies and lab testing companies. Users also can enter some information themselves. They can then elect to share that information with their doctors and other providers and use a range of online tools to do things such as track the risk of a heart attack or connect to a specialist for a second opinion."

Internet-based Personal Health Record gives people secure access to their personal health information and the ability to easily share it as they wish. Due to its sensitive nature, this information must be maintained in a secure fashion yet able to be rapidly retrieved.
