The corporation claims its end goal is to develop a comprehensive Google search tool that can collect and store a health system's diverse patient data in one place. Google hopes to use its partnership with Ascension to create the framework for a product which it can sell to other health systems. Organizations are supporting the use of EMD because it can turn nonmedical data into sensitive health information. EMD is health information gathered by artificial intelligence ( AI) from consumer interactions with technology. Patents filed in 2018 show that Google hopes to use Ascension's collection of medical data to create tools that can identify and predict health concerns before a patient has even visited a doctor using emergent medical data (EMD). Ascension hoped that faster and easier access to patient information and enhanced data mining would help health care providers and benefit patients by, for example, providing additional ways to discover different tests that could help diagnose patients. The healthcare organization wanted to centralize its electronic record-keeping processes by moving its data to the cloud. Purpose of Project NightingaleĪscension began working with Google to improve its patient care system. However, the potential for advancements made through the partnership could increase productivity in healthcare systems and create improvements in clinical quality and patient safety. Since then, various concerns have been raised about the project and whether it threatens the data security of protected health information (PHI). Project Nightingale gained public attention in November 2019 when a Wall Street Journal article was published, revealing the previously private partnership between Google and Ascension. Through the partnership, Google has gained access to over 50 million Ascension patients' medical records. Corporations have had access to health records in the past - including Google's relationships with University of Chicago, Mayo Clinic and the Cleveland Clinic - but Project Nightingale is the biggest effort by a Silicon Valley corporation to enter the healthcare industry. Project Nightingale is a partnership between Google and Ascension - the second largest health system in the United States - that aims to use Google's advanced data analytics capabilities to improve how information is used for patient care.
