So did they ask the patients involved if they want their records stored in this manner?
Oh wait...they don’t own those records the hospital does.
Wow, what a staggeringly bad idea. Is search engine technology really an appropriate combination with private health records?
I've been told you live longer that way too;-P
My Doc still uses manila file folders and lined paper... He refuses to digitize due to the lack of privacy and possible liability. I appreciate his concern, but he is a dying breed....
I’ve said if before, you have to be nuts to sign-up for a g-mail account (or whatever they call it). Whatever you’ve written and to who, they store it. They continue to build files/profiles on people under the auspices of defining customers for targeted advertising. Google “big-breasted redheads” and it goes into your “Horn Dog” tab in their file on you.
I had to send a letter to stop them from opening up one of my books for their search function. In 4-5 searches, you could read the whole book. They stopped, but I’m sure there were undefined damages done to my pocket book.
They are the epitome of “1984.”
if there were a "sixth column" google would be it.

They’ll be able to tip off their Chinese buddies who’s in the market for harvested organs.
This is great news. While the privacy concerns are valid, the fact that Google is making an attempt to put volunteer’s patient records online is commendable. With the current diversity and proprietory nature of EMR/EHR systems, communication between providers is quite a challenge.
Google’s attempt might well force providers to make some attempts at coming to an agreement on common data terms and might actually achieve what HIPAA hasn’t been able to re: communication between disparate provider s/w systems.
what is it with Google?
these Stalinists are pissing me off!
is there software that will totaly Block Google from even getting near My Computer???
I Wonder: Will this also include the medical records of a certain William J. Clinton? You know, the former President of the U.S. who has never, ever released his medical records for any eyes to see? Would be a hoot to Google symptoms of chronic, life-long cocaine abuse and have Billy Boy’s medical history pop up!
