Yeah, I know some EHRs have been attacked re: inadequate security, though AFAIK major vendors in my local area seem to have been doing OK recently. However, it only takes small errors here or there to open up significant holes, a fact I've brought up many times when discussing "interoperability" among EHRs, a favorite subject of governmental planners. I think the problem trusting Google might not lie with their "security team" (they probably have a number of such teams), but rather with privacy policies and guarantees. IOW Google is no doubt capable of providing security, questions arise about enforcing constraints necessary to assure the high level of privacy required by EHR systems.
