Ownership
Priya Ramachandran, EMR and EHR
“And while it’s easy for me to write a smart alecky blog post about the infeasibility of the mammoth database idea, I shudder when I think of what we have now: disjoint EHRs that don’t “speak” to one another, walled gardens and proprietary ownership of data that pretty much lock physician office in, PHR offerings from companies like Microsoft who will do God knows what with OUR health data.

“Recently, on The Healthcare Blog, there was a really interesting post by Dr. Marya Silberberg about why patient lab data should be liberated. She recommends lab results be sent to patients at the same time that they’re sent to doctors. Dr. Silberberg does an admirable job of looking at the patient data issue from both sides.

“The health care industry relies on data. Physicians need data to make the proper diagnosis, and they increasingly need to share data with other providers. One way of making this data available to those who need it is to store it in the cloud.

“I recently had to request my medical records from former physicians and have them sent to a new specialist I’m seeing. It is incredibly important for me that my new physician has a comprehensive perspective of my health. I truly believe that if he doesn’t have a complete picture, his decisions may not consider the context of my condition, and my lifestyle and personal will as a part of the solution.

“Topic 3 on last nights #HITsm Tweetchat got into discussions of who owns patient data. The moral high ground today seems to be towards “patient ownership.” Reality is just a bit different, and I think the discussion of ownership is not all that useful. It should be about rights and responsibilities with respect to patient data, rather than a discussion of ownership. My statement on this is remarkably similar to a post made by Dave Hitz on his blog.

“As health information exchanges (HIEs) tap data from more sources, personal health records (PHRs) present both compelling potential and a raft of challenges. HIE access to and use of PHR data was a topic of interest at recent a Beacon Community panel discussion, and PHRs could be vehicles for patient accountability in future care delivery models. But we’re not there yet for a variety of reasons.

“The data privacy and security concerns surrounding the transfer of de-identified data are significant. To “de-identify” what is otherwise protected health information under HIPAA, some outfits will simply strip data of 18 types of identifiers listed in federal regulations. However, the relevant regulation (45 CFR 164.514(b)(2)(ii)) also provides that this only works if “the covered entity does not have actual knowledge that the information could be used alone or in combination with other information to identify an individual who is a subject of the information.”

“I was having a conversation with my mom recently and she spoke of some of the challenges she’s had with making sure her doctors have all the information about her health. Even when they’ve been given such information or went through a medical episode with her, she noted “they don’t remember”. Guilty here! I admit that my own memory is imperfect regardless of how special the relationship or what shared history I have with a patient.

“Van wie is het dossier? Daarover ging het tijdens het spitsseminar dat 15 februari plaatsvond bij Nictiz in Den Haag. Een van de conclusies: patiëntgegevens zijn in juridische zin geen eigendom en daarom van niemand. Rechten en plichten rond zeggenschap over gegevens zijn wel wettelijk geregeld. Maar: ‘Er is een grote spanning tussen theorie en praktijk.’

“I was reading a book the other day and it suggested that sometime in the near future we will all have a personal medical record archive. Such an archive would be a formal record of every visit to a healthcare provider, with every x-ray, MRI, CatScan, doctor’s note, blood analysis, etc. that’s ever done to a person.

“The electronic medical record, the EMR, is upon us. For those of us who learned medicine entirely with paper charts, some have enthusiastically embraced the EMR and some have refused, to the extent they can, to deal with it at all. But most of us have plowed ahead into learning how to use it as best we can. It seems to me that the degree of enthusiasm physicians show for the EMR relates less to the particular version of it we have chosen (or, more commonly, was chosen for us) than it does to the kind of medicine we practice.
