Fort Wayne-based Medical Informatics Engineering (MIE) says Google will use the company's WebChart Electronic Health Record (EHR) system in its own onsite health clinics, which serve the Internet search firm's employees. The system will be deployed at Google locations in Mountain View, California and Kirkland, Washington. Last year, MIE announced its EHR solution was able to be used securely with Google's health-related information technology applications.

FORT WAYNE, Ind.--Medical Informatics Engineering (MIE) has announced that its WebChart Enterprise Health Electronic Health Record (EHR) solution has been selected by Google for its onsite employee health clinics. The EHR will be deployed at two locations in Mountain View, CA and one in Kirkland, WA, and will replace the current EMR system used by Google.

The MIE Enterprise Health EHR will integrate with the Google HealthT product, enabling Google employees or "Googlers" to send their health records to the onsite health center EHR prior to a visit. Medical information documented in the EHR during a clinical encounter can then be sent back to the employee's Google Health Account for inclusion in their personal health record.

"As part of the Google Health team and as a Google employee, I am pleased that our own clinics can give patients full access to their health information," said Roni Zeiger, MD, Product Manager for Google Health. "Innovative products such as MIE's web-based EHR help put more patients at the center of their care."

"We are very pleased that Google has selected MIE's WebChart EHR as a key component to help improve the health and wellness of its own people. As one of the most innovative technology companies in the world, we think it speaks volumes that Google continues to invest in secure, patient-centered and interoperable healthcare IT solutions," said MIE Executive Vice President Peter Norder.
