Google is planning on entering the world of online health records.  On the login page, which you cannot yet log into, Google health claims that you can

* Build online health profiles that belong to you

* Download medical records from doctors and pharmacies

* Get personalized health guidance and relevant news

* Find qualified doctors and connect to time-saving services

* Share selected information with family or caregivers

Google Health was rumored back in 2006, however, even the slow Microsoft beat them to it with their own product last October.  Google should stop trying to meet everyone’s needs and stick to what it knows best.  HIPAA will have a field day with Google, especially since they are known for allowing all their data to be searchable everywhere at anytime.
