ASTM Committee on Healthcare Informatics Notes Use of CCR Standard in Google Health Beta Launch

ASTM Committee on Healthcare Informatics Notes Use of CCR Standard in Google Health Beta Launch: "Google Health beta currently supports a subset of the CCR standard's content, including vital signs, medications, problems and conditions, allergies, procedures, lab results and vaccinations. Incoming CCR XML files from sources such as another PHR and electronic health records or a pharmacy database may include additional sections of the CCR standard's content, for example, advance directives or family history data. At present, these more complete medical records will be stored within the Google Health application as 'notices' and are available for use at a later date. It is expected that, over time, Google Health's CCR profile will expand in terms of the content areas it includes."
