PracticeFusion and Google - the real story

    The big announcement by PracticeFusion, a startup offering a free EMR in exchange for using the patient data to sell ads, is reported as a partnership with Google. Is this Google Health or something else. Reading the fine print, "Practice Fusion's deal with Google is what makes a free medical records system possible. Google's AdSense program will generate ads that will be displayed as the records system is used." according to SaukValley.com. Doesn't sound like Google is moving into  the EMR business with this program. Besides, if it was a high level Google partnership, won't Google announce it simultaneously?

    web based emr, no patient would like to have his/her medical records on a server.
    If it falls into the hand of a hacker,
    it could be a disaster.
    i would rather pay for the emr and go for a desktop application
