We already knew that Google has partnered with the Cleveland Clinic to pilot their electronic health record platform. Now Google's chairman has presented their EHR system at the HIMSS08 conference. The official Google blog provides a few details about the product and a couple of (lame) screenshots. Ironically, the people at Techcrunch are not amused with this, er, gradual approach to the actual launch of a product. Sour grapes, anyone?
When offered for universal use, I'm afraid the direct impact of this product in the Spanish market is going to be close to zero. It can't be otherwise: Google's EHR is going to be HIPAA-compliant, but will not be in compliance with Spanish personal data protection rules. And I don't think Google will take the effort to do it.
