The 55-year-old Kindler, you may recall, spent four years as the Pfizer ceo before unexpectedly resigning last December amid ongoing tension with some board members (see here and here). And there has long been speculation that he would next look to Washington, DC, whenever he left the drugmaker. Last July, in fact, Kindler was named by Obama as a member of a presidential advisory board devoted to increasing US exports. And the portly one had already angled to become a Democratic mover and shaker. Three years ago, for instance, he part...

One solution to the problem may be to take the electronic-medical record architecture out of the hands of the corporate world, suggested Google CEO Eric Schmidt at the JP Morgan Healthcare Conference last night. “If I were not doing what I’m doing and I wanted to do something in health care … I would go to all of the research universities and would try to figure out where the best, interesting IT software is that can be open-sourced,” he said at a health-IT panel discussion. “My guess is that a platform like that would be remarkably different from the platforms that we are using today,” he said.

The current plan stifles innovation and encourages the use of proprietary, copyrighted databases that cannot easily duplicate or share information, according to Schmidt.

From what I’ve read so far, that’s all he really talked about. I’m still waiting to see my contact that was able to attend HIMSS to see his thoughts on what was said. Sounds like he mostly reiterated what we already knew. A few interesting points: -Google Health will not contain ads (although I bet that won’t stop them from using the information to target the ads it shows you other places) -Eric Schmidt repeatedly said no data would be shared without the consumer’s consent (unless of course some hacker finds a way around Google’s security measures) -1,370 volunteers at the Cleveland Clinic are beta testing the application -Portability is the ke...
