FYI, the gov't (and plenty others) already know most everything
about your health records.<br>
Ever hear of the Medical Information Bureau?<br>
<br>
<i>"... In fact, what the Medical Information Bureau keeps in its
computers is information about people. Specifically, every time
you report a significant medical condition on an insurance
application—anything from heart problems to skin cancer—the
insurance company can report that condition to the MIB. The next
time you apply for insurance, your “new” insurance company will
pull your MIB file and find out what you previously reported...."</i><br>

<br>
So, since everyone but me seems to have access to my medical
records, it's about time I get to join the fun...<br>

Really? What is our Primary Care Physician doing?<br>
<br>
And do you really want a central repository of your
medical records for the Gov to poke into?<br>
<br>
What is the benefit? Do you think the ER doc is going to
read that stuff and take it for the final truth. If they
do, can you say law suit? <br>

<div class="plainMail">What is the best PHR Personal
Health Record service?<br>
<br>
Actually, this may not be OT as part of the question
is whether<br>
*open source* options may be (or not) better than
commercial<br>
options.<br>
<br>
Google abandoned Google Health.<br>
Several PHR services have shuttered.<br>
I would never trust micro$shaft with my health
records.<br>
<br>
So what is the best option now?<br>
<br>

Interesting thoughts :<br>

<br>
Personal medical records typically involve pieces of
information<br>
scattered among the offices of multiple physicians,
prescription<br>
data at different drugstores, folders full of receipts
and lab<br>
reports in an overstuffed file cabinet at home. A
central repository<br>
for all your health information from family history to
lab results<br>
to cholesterol readings gathered from all the
disparate sources, and<br>
ways to share it with doctors or other people that you
deem<br>
appropriate.<br>
