About Paper:

In recent decades, it has become easier to transfer patient information between healthcare providers. This includes not only health information, but also social security number, home address, insurance provider, and other demographic information. In this paper, I will argue that patients should have much more control over their healthcare records and that the implications of the right to privacy have not been fully appreciated thus far. Specifically, patients have a right over the distribution of their personal information. Patients should be able to exercise this right by maintaining secrecy of their healthcare information as they choose. This includes maintaining secrecy of personal healthcare information by limiting access from others, even their healthcare providers. Patients also have a non-absolute right to censor and delete information from their chart. 350
