Pretty soon, each time your GP checks your BP of measures your lipids, the results start to appear in Google health via the Google health API interface from Medical Director etc.
I imagine this is where the battleground would be in Australia. In the US, the consumer is king but I'm not sure my GP in Australia would upload my data into an external record even if I asked him. And in a classic chicken and egg problem, what would motivate HCN to implement this? They could say that there is no demand (obviously because the functionality doesn't exist in MD so noone asks) and therefore they won't implement it (no demand!). Would Australian consumers be focused enough to change GP because the GP refuses to participate in the patients PHR? I don't think the percentage would be very high..
