“Is third time the charm for New Hampshire? Legislators in New Hampshire have been trying to pass legislation that gives patients control over who sees their medical records. Under HB 1649, patients can request an audit of who has accessed their electronic medical records.
Note that the audit part is particular to EMRs and EHRs. In the paper world, physicians were able to take sections of the patient record to share with specialists. With electronic records, entire patient histories are transferred, according to Rep. Cindy Rosenwald (D-Nashua), who chairs the House Health, Human Services and Elderly Affairs Committee.”
