DoD launches personal health record with Microsoft, Google
Well, the personal health record (PHR) has officially become mainstream when the U.S. Department of Defense embraces it. The DoD, which apparently had its own PHR in place previously, is leveraging both Microsoft HealthVault and Google Health PHRs to build a new prototype PHR.
The new PHR, known as MiCare, will be rolled out initially at Madigan Army Medical Center in Tacoma, WA. The goal for the PHR is to help soldiers and their families manage their health regardless of where they're stationed, and even when they move outside of the military system.
The data will be protected under the Markle Foundation's "Connecting for Health" guidelines, which give the patient control over who gets to see the data and what part of it they see as well.
The long term goal of the project is to develop the PHR into a "patient-centric health record," blending electronic medical record functions with patient-controlled data.

DoD launches personal health record with Microsoft, Google
Dear DOD,, do you want your records hacked, stolen or broken into? Are you secure with Google and Microsoft EMR's NO, NO, AND NO... How can you be when they have been hacked, stolen and broken into before?
Here is another suggestion, why not put the EMR into the hand of every military person and not on line. they can control their own EMR, by wearing with the present dog tags, on a key ring or in their wallet in the shape of a credit card.
That's right a portable EMR without any ties to the internet. Just like Pinoccio who became a real boy, NO STRINGS ATTACHED. All the data is in our specially designed EMR units.. that the individual carries with them, the same data base is then given free of charge to every base station that needs it and the data can be uploaded by plugging the Specially Designed USB Medi-Chip into any PC and uploading or downloading the data. Simple quick and safe. As a matter of fact, you can make a pdf out of the data, lock it for security and email it anywhere in the world instantly and then open it to read it..Again no internet to hack...
Want to hear more??? contact us at info@sgmscorp.com... For all branches... Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, Coast Guard, Waves, Wacs, and the rest...
