Should we start with the VA?
WASHINGTON – Sens. Patrick Leahy (D-Vt. ) and Edward Kennedy (D-Mass. ) introduced a bill last week to provide patients with more control over their electronic health records.
The bill, introduced July 18, proposes to make changes to the current HIPAA privacy protection laws, to increase patient protection. According to a statement by Leahy, “the bill would give each citizen the power to decide when, and to whom, their health information is disclosed.”
