Who owns the health information?
- the patient to whom it refers?
- the health provider who created it?
- the IT specialist who has the greatest control over it?
- the researcher who aggregates it?
- the health 2.0 company that harvested it?
the notion of ownership is inadequate for health information. No one has an absolute right to destroy health information. But you can drive the car you own into a tree or into the ocean if you want to.
