What I find interesting is so many people here are bickering about how MS won’t keep their site secure, and it’s not safe, and no one wants to put their medical records where they could get hacked… and then turn around and whine about the ’strong password’ feature. Microsoft puts that in so that you know how easily your password could be discovered. Random letters and numbers in different cases is going to be stronger than the name of your puppy. If you’re worried about not being able to remember your password, put it in a secure place, like taped to the underside of your computer desk, so only you know where it is. Once you key it in a while, you’ll remember it, and it’ll be fine.

I’m not condoning MS in their expedition to try and create a monopoly in what everyone does on their computers, but I think this system could have great potential. Yes, it could be more user-friendly, yes it could have a few tweaks, but look at everything that first starts out. Give it time, if it bombs, they’ll get rid of it.

Is anyone concerned that the login information used for this is Windows Live ID? Does this not increase the potential for phishing targets to have additional information stolen. You can clean up your credit history, but once your health information is stolen, it is stolen forever.

I agree. Security will be the biggest barrier initially, which will cause slower adoption but I guess people will eventually start using it the way they started using online banking, emails to share their private information sitting on yahoo, google, msn servers, familty photos on free websites. It is funny that people trust their doctor’s small clinic staff with limited resources and technology to protect their private information. Very few of us really know how secure is our information in these small clinics and to which company they have outsourced to maintain it. Like or not, there is a greater potential for small clinics to start using this kind of services to reduce their IT cost without our knwoledge. Do you think anyone of us will know if the labs and clinics start using these services one day? In fact of the leading elecronic medical record company is already on board with MS. I won’t be surprised if my doctor is using this company to maintian my medical records in their back office.

Besides all that, gov. is already pushing big time for centralized electronic medical records in order to reduce the healthcare cost wher 60-70% cost is associated with administrative overhead. Many insurance companies have already implemented similar systems and are sharing medicals records with health care providers and other insurnace companies without the knowledge of a common person like me and you. Right now these initiaves are small, fragmented and not well coordinated. Moreover because of compliance issues and fears, very few companies want to play in this space. I think only big players like MS, Google, Oracle, IBM etc. have the resources and know how to build this kind of systems and sustain them.

There are only two people in the world that I trust with my health information — my husband and my doctor. I would be shocked if anyone in their right mind would actually use this!
