It would be nice if they provided a way to export my health information to their CCR/G format so I could save it locally.
I also find it interesteing that they are ready, willing and able to share my information with anyone THEY choose.
From the Agreement:
=========================================
'11.2 You agree that this licence includes a right for Google to make such Content available to other companies, organizations or individuals with whom Google has relationships for the provision of syndicated services, and to use such Content in connection with the provision of those services.
11.3 You understand that Google, in performing the required technical steps to provide the Services to our users, may (a) transmit or distribute your Content over various public networks and in various media; and (b) make such changes to your Content as are necessary to conform and adapt that Content to the technical requirements of connecting networks, devices, services or media. You agree that this licence shall permit Google to take these actions.
11.4 You confirm and warrant to Google that you have all the rights, power and authority necessary to grant the above licence.'
===================================================
This along with the obvious lack of standardized vocabulary use in their user input choices; i.e. two separate yellow fever vaccines just because of a misspelling, doesn't give me a "warm fuzzy" feeling about putting any REAL Personal Health Information (PHI) on their site.
I get the impression that they have decided that they know all about IT design and failed to learn from the many years of research that has gone into the complexities of healthcare information systems.
