New online health system for Military
The Department of Defense has been testing a new e-health system called MiCare, and so far the system is a hit. If implemented as planned, this system will allow Military personnel, their families and veterans to obtain their personal health records online from Microsoft Health Vault and Google Health.
According to a DoD press release, the system will include the following information: demographic information, active medication lists, their allergy data, lab results, radiology results, personal problem list, past visits, upcoming appointments and inpatient/outpatient documentation.
The DoD is working with the VA to determine the best way to approach the system. The system will be operated online rather than on an internal government system due to timing and cost. Security is obviously of utmost concern.
