I believe that is the goal here. HealthVault was created to make sharing possible, but only the files that the user/patient wants to share, and they also can determine how long that “sharing” access is permitted.

I also think they help promote a team effort between doctors and patients, and that is sure to generate a positive outcome. I am also using Microsoft HealthVault, and it has a lot of great tools available, too.

Remembering what to ask my doctor was always a problem, but visits are much smoother now, and there are some cool tracking tools that make my life a little easier, too. Well worth checking out!

That is really a nice and sensible way of maintaining records for all.
