did you know, fellow Canadians? 😮
"chains of for-profit primary care clinics, physicians, commercial data brokers and pharmaceutical companies ... work together to convert patient medical records into commercial assets."
Those assets ... are then used to "further the interests of the pharmaceutical companies."

🚨 Update Alert 🚨 The Washington AG recently clarified that non-prescription data is not “consumer health data” under #MHMDA. Companies should evaluate their compliance obligations in light of this new guidance. #healthdata #healthprivacy #privacy #dataprotection https://www.zwillgen.com/privacy/updated-mhmda-guidance-non-prescription-medication-purchases-not-consumer-health-data
We appreciate the FTC taking stakeholder feedback seriously. The final rule will better protect consumers’ #HealthPrivacy, increase trust between companies and consumers, and result in better overall health outcomes.
We continue to demand the protection of health data up-front w/ strong data minimization protections (like in the recently released bi-partisan, bi-cameral American Privacy Rights Act) as key to protecting #HealthPrivacy more broadly. https://www.commerce.senate.gov/2024/4/committee-chairs-cantwell-mcmorris-rodgers-unveil-historic-draft-comprehensive-data-privacy-legislation
Interessant für alle an #eHealth Interessierten aus dem #Gesundheitswesen könnte dieser Vortrag über "#GesundheitsApps" der #Krankenkassen sein.
Es gibt ja mittlerweile Apps auf Rezept, muss man wissen.

Ein Talk auf den @datenspuren :CZ: 2023.
Bill Clinton 1999: "As more of our medical records are stored electronically, the threats to all our privacy increase."
Joe Biden 2023: "...doing everything we can to ... safeguard patient privacy."
After 24 years, medical records are much less private than ever before. Patients no longer have the option to limit sharing of their medical information, and it's impossible to determine who has copies of medical records.

Terrible news from #Florida
But also an important reminder to all people who #menstruate that unless it is actually relevant to your needed medical care, that you don't have to (and probably shouldn't) provide this information to your doctor either, because in many states, medical records can be seized by medical licensing boards and other agencies without patient consent, in an appalling number of circumstances.
