Google has started a test pilot of medical record keeping in collaboration with the Cleveland Clinic. This pilot study will involve 1,500 to 10,000 volunteers who have given Google the right to house their medical information to make it more readily available to them if they discontinue services at the Clinic. I personally would be very scared to have one centralized medical record keeper although I can understand the benefits as well. I think there needs to be some good ground rules set before anything like this goes to public use. I'm surprised that Google would take such a huge risk in taking on this project however, I can't think of a better company to do it!
