What besides information privacy
What else is their besides medical record privacy? --Gbleem 08:21, 8 December 2006 (UTC)


 * There are also questions of physical privacy. Control of who can see/touch/do what to one's person.  e.g. Image:Gynaecology-1822.jpg  Zodon (talk) 23:56, 19 November 2008 (UTC)

Suggestions
1. I recommend a 'See also' heading be added (before 'References'). As Electronic Medical Records and Patient Records are mentioned, links to these articles could be helpful for readers ('Electronic medical record' and 'Patient health record' are the relevant links). In addition, a particularly useful link to include would be the 'Electronic Health Record' (EHR) article, this covers privacy and confidentiality issues related to the EHR.

2. I also recommend a section for Australia be added under the heading 'Privacy situation by country'. The 2012 introduction of the Personally Controlled Electronic Health Record (PCEHR) has raised pertinent privacy and confidentiality concerns.

I am an Australian university student participating in a Health Informatics project focusing on EHRs. I have an interest in contributing to the 'Medical privacy' article, with a particular focus on the Australian context. Over the next couple of months I hope to contribute to the improvement of this article, as a Wiki editor. Cathy Davis 5IHC (talk) 11:43, 24 March 2013 (UTC)

Changes to the Third Party Issues page
Hello all!

I took out the last sentence of the Third Party Issues section, which read "Furthermore, it is not the government that is the reason for many issues with medical privacy, but it is the large corporations that are trying to make profits off of our data." Though many agree with this sentiment, it is still a bit too much of a personal opinion to be appropriate for a neutral Wikipedia page. Instead, I added an example of a controversy surrounding the selling of data, Google's Project Nightingale.

Thanks, HanMiKC (talk) 13:41, 23 October 2020 (UTC)
