My Patient Or Law Enforcement, Who Gets First Say?, Hollis T, Redden
My Patient Or Law Enforcement, Who Gets First Say?, Hollis T, Redden
Arkansas Law Notes
Law enforcement is often left struggling with determining how to appropriately respond to nurses who refuse their request to collect a suspect’s blood when that patient is suspected of intoxicated driving and the officer has a valid search warrant. These scenarios trigger compliance issues including a patient’s right to privacy and consent, “particularly when a medical entity’s compliance with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (“HIPAA”) provisions directly conflicts with law enforcement needs and goals.” Once a suspect becomes a patient, whose interest prevails? Is it healthcare providers’ interest in abiding by the rights, health, and safety …

Dentistry And The Law: Responding To Internet Criticism And Hipaa Considerations, Dan Schulte Jd
The Journal of the Michigan Dental Association
This Dentistry and the Law column addresses the challenge of responding to online criticism as a healthcare professional, particularly dentists. The question involves a patient posting false and damaging information online, leading to concerns about reputation and the desire to set the record straight. The response outlines the limitations imposed by HIPAA on using patient information for such purposes and explores the legal complexities in pursuing recourse. The column advises against responding directly to negative online posts, emphasizing proactive reputation management through online advertising and patient testimonials.

Prescriptions At A Price: America's Opioid Crisis And The Increasing Toll On Drug Record Privacy, Reem Blaik
Prescriptions At A Price: America's Opioid Crisis And The Increasing Toll On Drug Record Privacy, Reem Blaik
Vanderbilt Journal of Entertainment & Technology Law
How should the US Constitution govern patient privacy in the face of a public health emergency? Declaring the United States' opioid crisis as a public health emergency may put the already-compromised integrity of drug record privacy at higher risk by virtue of emerging administrative responses, existing Supreme Court precedent, and acquiescent state laws. The White House convened a summit on opioids where the then-US attorney general discussed law enforcement responses to the crisis. Although the Fourth Amendment protects against unreasonable searches and seizures, the Supreme Court's third-party doctrine generally grants state and federal actors access to records released to third …
A Comment On Privacy And Accountability In Black-Box Medicine, Carl E. Schneider
A Comment On Privacy And Accountability In Black-Box Medicine, Carl E. Schneider
Michigan Telecommunications & Technology Law Review
Human institutions and activities cannot avoid failures. Anxiety about them often provokes governments to try to prevent those failures. When that anxiety is vivid and urgent, government may do so without carefully asking whether regulation’s costs justify their benefits. Privacy and Accountability in Black Box Medicine admirably labors to bring discipline and rationality to thinking about an important development — the rise of “black-box medicine” — before it causes injuries regulation should have prevented and before it is impaired by improvident regulation. That is, Privacy and Accountability weighs the costs against the benefits of various forms of regulation across the …
A Healthy Amount Of Privacy: Quantifying Privacy Concerns In Medicine, Ignacio N. Cofone
A Healthy Amount Of Privacy: Quantifying Privacy Concerns In Medicine, Ignacio N. Cofone
Cleveland State Law Review
With recent developments in e-health, concerns have been raised regarding the privacy of patients who are monitored with such treatments. I propose a simple method to incorporate these concerns into a standard health impact evaluation, based on quality-adjusted life years and the incremental cost-effectiveness ratio. This method provides a way to objectively value privacy concerns and balance them with health benefits. Hence, it can guide doctors and policymakers into incorporating privacy considerations and making better choices regarding e-health programs. This method can also be tested on existing economic evaluations to compare outcomes and gauge the extent to which privacy issues …
Privacy And Accountability In Black-Box Medicine, Roger Allan Ford, W. Nicholson Price Ii
Privacy And Accountability In Black-Box Medicine, Roger Allan Ford, W. Nicholson Price Ii
Michigan Telecommunications & Technology Law Review
Black-box medicine—the use of big data and sophisticated machine-learning techniques for health-care applications—could be the future of personalized medicine. Black-box medicine promises to make it easier to diagnose rare diseases and conditions, identify the most promising treatments, and allocate scarce resources among different patients. But to succeed, it must overcome two separate, but related, problems: patient privacy and algorithmic accountability. Privacy is a problem because researchers need access to huge amounts of patient health information to generate useful medical predictions. And accountability is a problem because black-box algorithms must be verified by outsiders to ensure they are accurate and unbiased, …
Marketing Pharmaceuticals: A Constitutional Right To Sell Prescriber-Identified Data?, Lawrence O. Gostin
Marketing Pharmaceuticals: A Constitutional Right To Sell Prescriber-Identified Data?, Lawrence O. Gostin
Georgetown Law Faculty Publications and Other Works
Pharmaceutical companies have strong economic interests in influencing physician-prescribing behaviors. They advertise direct-to-the-consumer and to the physician. Beyond general marketing, manufacturers promote their drugs to physicians through “detailing”—sales representatives (“detailers”) visiting medical offices to persuade physicians to prescribe their products.
By law, pharmacies receive specific information with every prescription, including the physician’s name, the drug, and the dose. Pharmacies sell these records to Prescription Drug Intermediaries (data miners), who use advanced computing to analyze prescriber-identified information (which physicians prescribe what drugs, in what dose, and with what prescribing patterns). Data miners, in turn, lease sophisticated reports to pharmaceutical companies to …
How The Lack Of Prescriptive Technical Granularity In Hipaa Has Compromised Patient Privacy, Tim Wafa
How The Lack Of Prescriptive Technical Granularity In Hipaa Has Compromised Patient Privacy, Tim Wafa
Northern Illinois University Law Review
This article argues that HIPAA legislation has a severe flaw within its architecture, which has compromised patient privacy. Although the drafters of the legislation recognized the importance of providing comprehensive federal legislation to improve regulatory uniformity amongst states, they failed to recognize the importance highly specific ("granular") technical requirements play in facilitating improved privacy for patients. HIPAA rules surrounding technology implementation give too much latitude to covered entities, and as a result, provide inadequate protection to protected health information. HIPAA rules should be amended to mandate baseline technical ("granular") standards to ensure uniform efficacy in the safeguarding of protected health …
The Constitution Guarantees Doctor-Patient Confidentiality In Criminal Cases, David E. Clark
The Constitution Guarantees Doctor-Patient Confidentiality In Criminal Cases, David E. Clark
David E Clark
Admitting medical records against a patient in a criminal case violates the fifth amendment because a patient is compelled to tell her doctor inculpatory information. Issuing a search warrant for confidential doctor-patient records violates the right to privacy in the fourth amendment. Warden v Hayden (1967) left open an important exception allowing a constitutional doctor-patient privilege in criminal cases.

Finding A Cure: The Case For Regulation And Oversight Of Electronic Health Record Systems, Sharona Hoffman, Andy Podgurski
Faculty Publications
In the foreseeable future, it is likely that the familiar, paper-based patient medical files will become a thing of the past. On April 26, 24, President George W. Bush announced a plan to ensure that all Americans' health records are computerized within ten years and to establish a National Health Information Network. Many advocates are enthusiastically promoting the adoption of health information technology (HIT) and electronic health record (HER) systems as a means to improve U.S. health care.
HER systems often not only serve as record-keeping systems, but also have multiple capabilities, including drug ordering, decision support, alerts concerning patient …
Medical Error Reporting: Professional Tensions Between Confidentiality & Liability, Wendy K. Mariner, Frances H. Miller
Medical Error Reporting: Professional Tensions Between Confidentiality & Liability, Wendy K. Mariner, Frances H. Miller
Faculty Scholarship
Improving patient safety depends on a sophisticated understanding of what can jeopardize it. Reports of adverse patient events and "near misses" constitute valuable information that can foster that understanding. Knowing what has gone wrong in the past facilitates the search for systems improvements, which can prevent recurrence. Unfortunately, providers have been generally unenthusiastic about reporting medical error, whether from a sense of shame, from a fear of liability and institutional sanctions, or from anxiety about reputation and relationships with peers. This Issue Brief lays out the factors that may affect reporting, and explores the limited evidence about whether providers' confidentiality …
