CNSNews.com - Biden Touts Computerized Health Records, But Critics Have Privacy Concerns
Washington (CNSNews.com) – Vice President Joe Biden, touting the importance of electronic health records, on Tuesday announced $220 million in grants for 15 communities to pave the way for wide-scale use of health information technology.
But some Americans fear that so much personal information being shared via computer networks could violate privacy.
“These pioneering communities are going to lead the way in bringing smarter, lower-cost health care to all Americans through use of electronic health records," Biden said of the 15 pilot communities. "Because of their early efforts, doctors across the country will one day be able to coordinate patient care with the stroke of a key or pull up life-saving health information instantly in an emergency – and for the residents of these communities, that future is about to become a reality.”
