Excerpt from A Policy Analysis of Citizen Rights Issues in Health Data Systems
The study had three objectives. First, it would describe the pre-computer base line of record - keeping practices and citizen - rights rules in the various sectors of American health care. Second, it would describe how computers were being used and identify the effects they were having on the content and uses of health records. Finally, the study would analyze public debates over computer uses and citizen rights in the health field, note parallel developments in other democratic nations, and identify those principles of good practice and possible policy actions that would best assure the observance of citizen rights in health-data practices, especially in automated data systems.
