I applaud Dr Soon-Shiong for his vision. I hope Dr Soon-Shiong, that you will spend a few minutes on our site http://www.personalmedicine.com and sign up for an account as a patient. The capabilities you speak of are available right now in 2010, it will not take two years. If your record is in google health, then just upload it. Then when you want to share information, access your medical record, send your medical record to a specialist, make an appointment for a house call, telemedicine visit, IM visit, or otherwise communicate with your professional health network, you can do that right on our site.
Here is an innovation series I’m doing for Physicians to discuss the differences in incremental innovation and disruptive innovation, making the cost case for the latter as the way to go.
