Google Health - Interview with Missy Krasner

In a podcast interview for Modern Healthcare, Missy Krasner discusses Google Health including the early partnership with Cleveland Clinic and others. She emphasizes the value proposition of portability of healthcare information through Google Health. Slow adoption of PHRs she attributes to lack of interoperability and patients/consumers not being at the center of health care provision. Part of Google's goal by openning up their API is to encourage innovation among small companies to add value. Also, by adding it to Google's suite of products like email and calendaring, the hope is that Google Health will become part of one's daily workflow.
My question is: how will we see this happen? Is anyone measuring this, researching adoption, promoting integration. I hope we will begin to see more reports of this in the press and professional Health IT journals. Or how about an offical Google blog just for Google Health?

    I noticed that as you put together your health advisory board that you din't include any doctors of chiropractic. I understand that most people are looking for health/medical advice however the amount of people who turn to chiropractic is well documented. In Googles quest to be innovative to help with all areas of search - in this case - health care chiropractic can be an area that I think needs to be represented. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions. Thank you for your time.
