Just recently a friend of mine was telling me that his doctor sent him to a specialist for some additional tests. He said that the specialist did not have access to his medical records and needed to rerun some of the tests for the evaluation.
Now I find this ridiculous. No wonder health care costs are so high!
With the technology we have in this day and age, there must be a way to combine the data in to one database for sharing essential information. Then today I saw on the “Official Google Blog” that they are addressing this issue. Here is the link – Click here
I have to say that “Google” seems to be on top of things that need to get done. I say “Way to go Google!” No wonder they are on the leading edge of technology.
When Google first came to my attention several years ago I visited their office on University Avenue in Palo Alto. It was a friendly visit and I said at that time “I thought their search engine was by far the best available. Good work!”. (I wish I had known about IPO back then). Now I think when it comes to technology their motto should be “There is nothing we can’t do.”
