Making way for Microsoft HealthVault?

E-health insider is reporting that Microsoft “stands ready” to work with the government on personal health records.

Should the coalition want to move forward with plans to introduce new personal health records, Microsoft says it would hope to support any such plans with its HealthVault platform.

Microsoft stated that while it does not see Microsoft’s HealthVault platform as a replacement to the hotly debated summary care record although it does have the potential to integrate with it.
