S2E4: Updating Healthcare Data Management and Privacy with Rita Bowen, VP Privacy and Compliance at MRO and host Dr. Nick.

So what does HIPAA mean and where did it come from? Information is about the individual and the regulations have been fairly clear on access to that data. So while we wait for the much-needed HIPAA facelift healthcare facilities and all the covered entities need to be on their guard to ensure the integrity and security of the information they hold on behalf of patients. And patients as always are central and integral to the delivery of the best possible care and must be partners in the process. It might not be popular but we as patients must also become better-informed decision-makers. The Roe vs Wade overturn has placed a spotlight on the importance of the privacy of healthcare data and the big gap in legislation and the importance of bringing our data regulations back into the 21st and even the 22nd century

Your better pill to swallow is to fill in the gap of healthcare data security and privacy and provide patients with both the insights and knowledge to educate as well as effectively manage and control their data. Get deep into information governance and segment the data and its potential uses, and consider including patient representation in your healthcare data governance oversight team.
