Prompted by an engagement with prominent healthcare lawyer, Matt Fisher (@Matt_R_Fisher), on Twitter, Healthcare Scene decided to sit down with Matt to talk about the challenging topic of EHR vendors selling patient data. As a basis for the discussion, I suggested to Matt that EHR vendors were selling the EHR data and so we should dive into the details of when they are legally allowed to sell EHR data and when they are not.
That’s exactly what we did in my video interview with Matt Fisher below. Turns out there are a lot of little nuances to when and how an EHR vendor can sell patient data and HIPAA is only one of them. Plus, Matt and I also talk a bit about how a doctor and a patient can try and find out when and where their patient data is being sold. Learn about all the details in this video:
Is there anything you would add to the discussion? Were there any details or questions you think we missed? Let us know in the comments and we’ll do our best to get the answers.
