Google Health – Adam Bosworth at World Health Care Congress
April 28, 2007
In a report from the Congress held this week, Adam Bosworth of Google, talked about the rights patients should have and gave more hints about what Google Health might look like. Particularly, he noted having the power of privacy, to decide who would see what in one’s health records. He also noted “Google wants to include in their PHR transaction data between physicians and health plans, physicians and PBMs, labs and physicians and so on. They are not planning to rely on feeds from physician EHRs to do this.”
More hints, no announcements yet.
