What's your take on who owns the patient data? In many industries, content is king, and this is the content. Is there any chance the PHR may implicitly imply some agreement to wave privacy?

If everyone would have a flash drive around their neck or on their person likes an electronic dog tag. You would not need the Internet. All you would need to do is plug the flash drive into the USB port and a pre-set form would come up with all the pertinent info. All the info needed to treat a patient. Like medical history, allergies and medications. We would save so much money, because of the time saving element. No need to run so many tests. And of course a lot less medical mistakes because they would have a great base to work from with each patient. Just think if everyone had an EMR.

Guardianship of private information is a challenge but one that is taken seriously by all health care institutions. Having said that I agree with the author, until all EHR's are 100% secure, there is serious work to be done.
