Google Partnering With Cleveland Clinic On Electronic Medical Records

Google is showing the first tangible fruit of its online health endeavors. The company is teaming up with the world famous Cleveland Clinic on a pilot program relating to electronic medical records. The program will be open to 10,000 invited Cleveland Clinic patients, who will be able to connect their medical records to an online health profile hosted by Google. Users will then be able to access their record from anywhere, sharing it with other doctors and pharmacies. The hospital already keeps electronic records for over 100,000 patients in an internal system called MyChart, but when those personal health records, or PHRs, are shared with Google, patients will be able to use them outside of the Cleveland Clinic. Included in the data will be prescription information, medical histories, and details about conditions and allergies.
