Not interested in keeping your own medical log, or just not organized enough? There is hope! What if you could have all your medical records available to any doctor, hospital, or pharmacists anywhere in the world from any computer? There have been a few companies who have tried to pull this off but one big name really stands out as possibly succeeding.
According to www.reuters.com, "Google Inc has unveiled a plan to help U.S. patients gain control of their medical records and is working with doctors' groups, pharmacies and labs to help them securely share sensitive health data. Google said it has signed deals with hospitals and companies including medical tester Quest Diagnostics Inc, health insurer Aetna Inc, Walgreens and Walmart Stores Inc pharmacies. The password-protected Web service stores health records on Google computers, with a medical services directory that lets users import doctors' records, drug history and test results."
