Just as a note, ONC and CMS is emphasizing the Fair Information Principles, and they are embodied in a "harmonized security and privacy framework". With the evolution of the Health Insurance Exchange (CMS) wants you to demonstrate that at every point of system interface the principles are applied and policies devloped to enforce protection of consumer information. I think it is far more "multi-dimensional" than historical privacy efforts, that we largely just "safeguards". <br />Cheers!Jim St.Clairhttp://www.cgi.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4201874739367831894.post-85273053101721246362013-02-08T11:38:36.789-06:002013-02-08T11:38:36.789-06:00Great explanation of privacy John. Working in the ...Great explanation of privacy John. Working in the biometrics industry, we run up against this issue quite often in how we store our data and questions from end users if we share the data with anyone.<br /><br />Although privacy and civil liberties continue to be a sticky wicket with the proliferation of electronic communication, the definition and interpretation of "privacy" varies greatly by demographic and culture. What we may consider a privacy violation in the US may be acceptable in other cultures. It should also be noted that there is some expectation by people that they forfeit some of their privacy when operating in the public domain (e.g. - CCTV cameras, etc.) Would a privacy activist not patronize a store that used security cameras to monitor it's customers? Highly doubtful but in essence, they are forfeiting some of their privacy rights, perhaps unknowingly.<br /><br />This topic will continue to be in the limelight for healthcare as we work through the charge to electronic medical records and data sharing across platforms like health information exchanges.Johnny Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01222119004665984793noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4201874739367831894.post-64380842442152338592013-01-28T12:39:01.706-06:002013-01-28T12:39:01.706-06:00Good list and explanation of a topic that is way m...Good list and explanation of a topic that is way more complicated than appears at first glance.<br /><br />As a point of interest, EU privacy principles also incorporate a "right to be forgotten", i.e., you have rights to erase digital data held by 3rd parties.Vince Kuraitishttp://e-caremanagement.comnoreply@blogger.com
