Aetna members will be able to store records in Microsoft’s HealthVault
Beginning next month, patients covered by the health insurer Aetna will be able to transfer their medical records to Microsoft’s online medical record service HealthVault.
Currently, Aetna members have access to their personal medical records on a service run by Aetna. Starting in November, Aetna members will be able to transfer those records to the Microsoft service as well.
In addition, the members will be able to transfer information stored in HealthVault back into the Aetna service, called Aetna CareEngine.
Members will be able to access information stored in their HealthVault accounts should they change jobs and health plans.
Members will also be able to share their HealthVault information, if they wish, to providers outside of the Aetna plan, other health plans and a growing number of health-related Web application.
