MySA Original Article
Isn't privacy still protected under HIPPA laws? My question is why is it going to take 20 Billion dollars to digitize this information. I used to work in Medical Records for a local hospital, but to say it's going to take billions of dollars to type data is daunting. Also being a multimedia specialist, it's pretty ridiculous and questions how this money's going to be spent, or just pocketed into big-pharma. It would make matters extremely easier if Physicians and Hospitals required users to fill out their data online, user-generated data on a secure site similar to the discrepancy you would trust from an online bank portal. For some patients, particularly the older generation, this is difficult so they could do things at the clinic. A lack of funding requires an increase in problem-solving and innovation. Money can't just be thrown around in the private interest because too much in the public sector is at stake and without funding for rightful services such as Emergency and Assistance agencies.
