The Health Care Blog
Matthew Holt as been able to talk to one of the originators of XML about Google health. It’s an interesting listen.
Another talk on Google, mostly on their strategy, on what they plan on doing with Chrome, (their new internet browser) Android, (their open source phone OS) and The Cloud ( the way all their apps are on the internet) by a VC in New York. Oh, and check out the Chrome Comic Book, for information on Chrome. Sounds good to me.
They have also posted information on Health 2.0, which is going to be held in San Fran in October. It looks like exciting stuff, I’d like to see what something like Facebook could do for healthcare.
Life as a Healthcare CIO
Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center has started using Microsoft Health Vault for their personal health records, along with Google Health, which has been supported by BIDMC since May. You can now link either of the PHR with BIDMC’s PatientSite, which makes it easier for you to keep track of your own health.

A software company in Brisbane has developed software that can predict admissions, and improve emergency room efficiency. It can predict the number of patients that can may come in the next hour, the next week, or even over a longer period.
WTN News
GE Healthcare has unveiled a new monitored care application, which can capture information from patients monitors and integrate them into patient’s Electronic Health Records. So you can get heart rate and blood pressure updated into EHRs on the fly. That’s pretty damn impressive!
