Dossia will go into use this year

March 19, 2008

The Dossia electronic health records consortium has announced that it will begin to roll out the PHR to its corporate sponsors this year. After some well-publicized struggles, it plans to publish an API for the system as a way to invite health care providers to interface with the product. Part of the plan is to allow users to compare costs and medical-outcome histories at different hospitals based on its members medical history thus reducing medical costs. It is a bold plan and in light of recent announcements from Google and Microsoft, perhaps overshadowed before it gets off the ground.
