Actually received a pretty in-depth briefing with MSFT on the HealthVault Community Connector (HVCC) last week, prior to HIMSS. HVCC is basically a productization of MSFT’s work with New York Presbyterian and their roll-out of the Amalga-HealthVault linked myNYP.org patient portal (search the Chilmark site for a post we did on subject a while back). Thus, HVCC is a patient portal and maybe one could argue this is a consumer HIE, but it is a stretch.

I’d be very interested in your take on the subject of Microsoft’s “New Microsoft Health Solution Connects Hospitals With Patients and Referring Physicians to Improve Coordination of Care” press release of today. (http://www.microsoft.com/presspass/press/2010/mar10/03-01MSMiamiPR.mspx).

The integration with HealthVault is to be expected, but the product seems to me more like an HIE than an EHR/PHR.

I’ve been casually investigating HealthVault and PHRs for the past few months as an example of personal “cloud-based” applications that are more significant (i.e., “meaningfully useful”) than FaceBook, Twitter, et al.

Cheers and have fun at HIMSS,
