Google Health Accused of Inaccuracy in Electronic Medical Records
Google is encountering protests from
users who say the information its Google Health beta Website presents has the
potential to be inaccurate when it comes to electronic medical records. Google
Health, Google's
health care IT solution, has been taken to task by physicians who say the
billing information it uses for some patients' electronic medical records can
give an inaccurate picture of their health conditions. Since rolling out in
Feb. 2008, Google Health has been positioned as competition for Microsoft's
health care IT offerings, as well as sites such as WebMD.
