At Google, we often get questions about what we're doing in the area of health.The interesting thing is that Google greatest asset in this space is also its greatest weakness. If anyone can click the electronic health information portability problem Google can. However most people are not real seen on the idea of Google having access to their health information, in addition to our email, browsing history, and shopping habits.

Google stated goal of indexing the worlds information will come up squarely against there mission to "do no evil." With this much information about individuals the tempation to take advantage of all of that data will be impossible to resolve.

With Google entering the medical record-keeping field, there's new hope for a workable centralized system for use by patients, hospitals, doctors, insurers, pharmacies -- basically, everyone in the healthcare loop. Google will have to succeed where many others have faltered, though, solving complex problems related to privacy, patient behavior, accessibility and standardization.


Helping Healthcare become more efficient

Delivering high-quality service and care efficiently and at reasonable costs is a priority for any healthcare organization. But even as technology evolves to support these efforts, a number of challenges still get in the way of the technological efficiency of many healthcare organizations.

Time and money spent dealing with regulations and legal issues are two often-mentioned challenges. Managing security and preventing threats are others. Productivity that's lost when information is hard to find, when medical records need to be physically duplicated and shared, or when data security or privacy becomes an issue — these are just some of the obstacles facing many healthcare companies.

Google has been working on several initiatives designed to help healthcare companies overcome these obstacles.

* The latest on Google Health, which enables patients, providers, and hospitals to organize health information securely and cost effectively.

* The ways that Google Search Appliance provides fast, secure, and accurate access to all kinds of information inside your healthcare business – even data stored in most legacy repositories.

Healthcare professionals have always focused on reducing costs while still increasing the quality of the care they provide to patients — and this kind of efficiency becomes even more important in challenging economic times.

Fortunately, healthcare providers can turn to the web for a growing number of resources that help them achieve these goals. With our health initiatives and solutions for businesses of all kinds, Google is committed to helping bring exactly these kinds of productivity gains and cost reductions to healthcare providers. Google also committed to harnessing the power of the web to help people everywhere effectively manage their healthcare records and information in a private, secure online setting.
