Do You Think That Putting Medical Records Online Will Lower Costs Or Just Result In More Lawsuits On Privacy?

Posted by Conversion Expert | Online Security | Tuesday 22 December 2009 5:52 am

One of the ideas being batted around in congress to streamline or improve efficiency in lowering medical costs is to put patients records online so that information is more readily accessible at clinics, emergency rooms and state and federal offices.
Do you think that the supposed reduction in medical and administrative costs will be worth all the potential privacy invasion and loss of personal security that will come from thousands of new people suddenly having more access to your medical history and personal information?

    It will open up a whole new can of worms with privacy issues and identity theft (because anyone who can access the database can access your information)

    No not to mention the loss of jobs from the conversion. Once you put something online misinformation and security are questionable.
