Electronic Medical Records: A Case of Better Healthcare or an Invasion of Privacy?
Electronic medical records may save many lives and slash the cost of
healthcare, but there's also a sinister risk that personal medical
histories may land in the wrong hands. With the amended Healthcare
Identifiers bills now passed by the Australian parliament, privacy
advocates continue to air concerns, including their alarm at the
suggestion that Google – already the subject of a Federal Police privacy
investigation – could one day be the keeper of everyone's health info.
Legal experts claim the new laws are fundamentally flawed. It's
important to get the rules right first time, they say, because once the
information escapes, there's no chance of a recall.
