It's the cost and the mandates on other people's money that's been the problem. And because of that, HIPAA hasn't been enforced, and there's really nothing anyone can do about it unless a portion of the Obama Administration plan gets passed.

It is interesting how we got to this place, historically. I'm also reading quite a few stories about how electronic medical records are helping with the tracking of the H1N1 virus; facilities are seeing trends faster than from other identification protocols.

This country actually had smart cards back in the late 90's, but patients wouldn't bring them back when they came back. As for electronic medical records, we messed that up by making it hard and expensive for both hospitals and physicians to go that route; that, and the millennium, which made a lot of hospitals buy new computer systems instead of putting their money into EMR. Still, it will happen one of these days. I actually wrote a little bit about that, and some other things, <a href="http://www.ttmitchellconsulting.com/Mitchblog/president-obamas-eight-health-care-principles/">here</a>. Hi Lori,

R. Reid's frontline piece http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/sickaroundtheworld/ that talks about healthcare around the world. Many countries have smart cards and electronic health records. Not sure what the preponderance of identity theft is, but it does make you wonder about our healthcare system. I still believe that Mayo Clinic Health Manager, Microsoft's HealthVault and Google Health offer significant positives. You know, you might want to check out T. R.

I mean, Google Health would make sure the information was always online, no matter where you went, but the other things would be different. Hadn't thought of it in that way.

Since I'm in health care, I may have a skewed vision of this whole thing. Most people probably don't have to worry about it all that much, even if their information is cracked. However, it's the thought that it could be cracked, and by whom I'm not sure, that bothers me. For instance, your SSI # is usually a part of your medical record, along with your home address and the address of next of kin and person to contact in case of emergency. If that's not someone in your household you just gave information on someone else to a hacker. Now, it's possible there's certain information excluded from going online; I don't know that. But it's just another thing to think about. Hi Lori, and thanks for the comment. Since I’m in health care, I may have a skewed vision of this whole thing.

Privacy is a concern, but I don't feel like my files are all that better protected in the open cubbies at my doctor's office. I see a real value in being able to put all of my information, and my kids' information, in one place so I have quick access. Frankly, I cannot remember what I made for dinner last week, much less when the last time my kids had a cold. As for choosing Google Health, there are a lot of options cropping up out there. I was just looking through the Mayo Clinic Health Manager, which my mom asked me about, and it had a lot of interesting tools and options. There will be some ideas that may not be good (I was just giggling at the notion of Twitter My Results!) but, to me, digital health records isn't one of them.

There's certainly going to have to be a lot of distrust to overcome before either one of these programs grow. I hope it all works out, Rob.
