Doctor’s rights to online privacy and rights to protect prescribing patterns from being sold
Colin Zick, healthcare policy lawyer at Foley Hoag, LLP, in Boston, discusses the following:
- Do medical doctors have a realistic chance of suing an online site such as Health Grades or Vitals.com to have defamatory patient comments removed?
- The Supreme Court will rule soon on the case against the State of Vermont and the law banning the sale of encrypted prescription pattern data to companies such as IMS. What are the important arguments?
- The new ACA healthcare law implements electronic medical records. Will there be a downside to doctors in the form of extra monitoring and restriction of medical practice by state and federal agencies that can better monitor doctors via EMR’s?
