Electronic databases and privacy protection: issues for a free society.

More efficiently managed programs of health insurance claims processing and remittance with reduced costs and paperwork burdens hold out the potential for increased benefits to subscribers and health insurers alike. The computer/telecommunications systems and databases by which these efficiencies may be realized also hold great promise for improved services in other arenas. Early and candid recognition of the equally great potential for danger and abuse in those systems and the technology can guide the development and implementation of appropriate and necessary safeguards to individual privacy and to a democratic society in concert with system design.

Point of care and patient privacy: who is in control?

Public and patient access to medical records has been severely limited through policies limiting physical and timely access and intellectual understanding of content. New expectations of patient/public access and control have arisen accompanying the new paradigms of health care delivery and health information (computer-based patient records). Examples from these new paradigms are personalized and presented in information system contexts from bedside to community settings. Patient and family involvement in care delivery, education, assessment, and control of privacy are explored. A personalized confidentiality/security/privacy module of the computer-based patient record is suggested.
