“They’d like to see consumers have the ability to review and challenge their records as is the case with credit bureau information.”
Umm… Mr. Bosworth, this is a great idea, and good thing for HIPAA, it already allows for this. Sloppy, indeed!

I am employed in the information technology field;
I worked for a company that was required to follow HIPAA law, and even though it required additional effort to keep client data secure, if it was my personal data, I would want only qualified doctors to have access, and only after I signed approval for the records to be transferred. Search engine are wonderful tools, but only if the tool is limited to where it cannot harm individuals through disclosure of private information. Many great inventions have been turned into weapons when the original intent of the invention was misused.

A few ruminations.
Does the credit bureau analogy fit?
Credit bureau information clearly is created without my personal consent; I might have the right to challenge specifics of what’s in there, but the existence of this type of database occurs without my permission.
Personal health information seems to be in different legal and ethical categories. Patient ownership of personal health information seems to be the prevailing model, with patient permission being required for sharing. This is unlike credit bureau info.
What does Bosworth mean when he talks about “overturning HIPAA”? is that an oblique reference to creating personal health information databases without patient consent? i.e., more like a credit bureau? does Bosworth mean something else?
