Is that actually allowed without patient consent?
- bilbo0s 7y agoNo. Patient consent is part of the whole "everyone thinks [it] will help" part. Not really sure how Google finagled their access? It's odd when neither the doctor, nor the patient knows. I wonder if even the hospital administrators knew? Or is this a decision that was made at the system level and the average hospital CEO at Ascension was none the wiser?
- froindt 7y agoI hate how patient consent is typically implemented. I've seen two ER's firsthand who have someone come in with a computer, ask some questions about insurance and all, then say "please sign for the HIPPA privacy form, and again to release the information to your insurance provider". For all you know, you're signing away for an assisted suicide and authorizing your organs to be transplanted. I refuse to sign on the pad, I'm the patient who asks for it to be printed out on paper, signs it, and gets a copy too.
- ska 7y agoThat's a bit different that the consent referred to above - this is the hospital covering themselves. If you are consenting data for a trial or otherwise sharing with a company for development, someone (often paid for separately) will typically come and walk you through the consent form.
