There was initial thoughts about using PHR's -- Google Health, or Microsoft health vault etc. But upon further consideration, these agencies specifically say that they are NOT a HIPPA-covered entity. Thus they are not really a reasonable channel for sending results out to patients. John Williams, on a telephone call, commented that he is considering offering a secure HIPPA-covered PHR as a service (for fee). If he, or anyone else did this, there certainly would be security factors that would have to be carefully monitored -- to prevent hackers from accessing it etc, so service support would be reasonable.
