Microsoft Introduces HealthVault Personal Health Records

Posted by on October 4th, 2007 Posted in: News from NLM

The new resource also includes an Internet search tailored for health queries. Microsoft has partnered with other health agencies and organizations to contribute to the project. They are hoping that patients will coordinate with their health care providers to add individual health information to their records at www.healthvault.com Where do librarians fit into this project? It’s hard to determine from the information currently available.
