The computerization of medical records and the creation of medical data
bases is producing unprecedented threats to medical record
confidentiality. Researchers, law enforcement officials, public health
officials, and commercial entities are among the many parties claiming a
right to unfettered access to patient data. To counteract these
developments a combination of technical, policy and legal measures and
are needed. This panel will explore where the lines are being drawn with
respect to access to medical records and discuss some of the strengths
and limitations of different legal and technical approaches to protecting
the patient's right to informational privacy.
