| The Clinton health care reform plan was released the same week that a
new Lou Harris poll found high levels of concern about privacy among
the American public. The health care reform proposal includes important
privacy safeguards, but the measures may not go far enough to address
public concerns. |
| The bill creates fair information practices for the collection and use
of personal medical information. It mandates that holders of health
information keep that information confidential unless there is
authorization for its release by the patient or other limited
exceptions. Each person who obtains private medical information becomes
a trustee. Patients will also have the right to access, and correct
their own personal files. |
| The health care reform proposal includes a strong code of fair
information practices, and an explicit prohibitions on the use of
medical record information for employment purposes. But the plan
leaves open the question of whether the Social Security Number might be
used as a patient identifier and also allows more than three years
before full legislative safeguards are established. |
| (h) A patient who no longer has a debilitating medical condition shall
return his or her registry identification card to the state health
agency within twenty-four hours of receiving such diagnosis by his or
her physician. |
