So now anyone can visit any website and post comments or added content to someone else's website? That seems a violation of owning and managing the content of your own website. Now anyone can come along and post anything they want on your website. Reading Google's proposed uses for this tool is even scarier in that they suggest people add medical content to sites like the CDC - Who's validating the accuracy of that content? Who's responsible for anyone acting on that content? What if someone dies as a result of misinformation? I can think of all kinds of inappropriate uses from a business competition perspective that makes this tool a potential major problem, but from the medical perspective, owners of web pages must be given the right and capability to selectively enable or disable this feature for their website. If Google doesn't provide that, I see lawsuits in the future. Google Sidewiki . . . that’s scary. So now anyone can visit any website and post comments or added content to someone else’s website?

Inga asked GE and we appreciate their response: “The business has decided to shift its strategy away from forward production on the Centricity Lab product. The demand for it is, perhaps, as strong as ever yet currently concentrated in smaller, community-based EMR settings. We really need to focus on maximizing the personalized service we can deliver to the existing install base and will continue to service and support all current installs (as well as honoring all current orders).” Do you know if this applies to all Centricity Lab products?
