I am fine with that kind of a scope. It also avoids the issues I was bringing up. I very much agree that data created fully by the patient is, and should be, totally controlled by the patient. This scope also avoids the concerns that encumber healthcare provider environments: Medical Ethics concerns, Safety concerns, and concerns of wrongful disclosure. </span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'> </span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>John</span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'> </span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'> </span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'> </span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'><b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'>From:</span></b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'> <a href="mailto:agropper@gmail.com" target="_blank">agropper@gmail.com</a> [mailto:<a href="mailto:agropper@gmail.com" target="_blank">agropper@gmail.com</a>] <b>On Behalf Of </b>Adrian Gropper<br><b>Sent:</b> Sunday, April 19, 2015 12:42 PM<br><b>To:</b> Moehrke, John (GE Healthcare)<br><b>Cc:</b> Eve Maler; <a href="mailto:openid-specs-heart@lists.openid.net" target="_blank">openid-specs-heart@lists.openid.net</a><br><b>Subject:</b> Re: [Openid-specs-heart] HEART stepping stones</span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'> <o:p></o:p></p><div><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'>John, I find your perspective both paternalistic and unscalable. <o:p></o:p></p><div><div><div><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'> <o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'>US healthcare is awash in lack of transparency and the result is $1Trillion of unwarranted care. It's paternalistic and incredibly self-serving to presume that just because the institution has been given a right to use patient data without any accountability as long as the data is for Treatment, Payment, or Operations or De-Identified, or "Break the Glass", or prescription drug monitoring, or just plain lack of segmentation for access, that it's good policy. The current regulations are the result of heavy and effective lobbying by a very well organized industry trying to protect its secrets by avoiding the HIPAA accounting for disclosures and and patient right of access because they're "too hard".

It's also unscalable as patient data such as genomes can no longer be collected under informed consent because nobody has any idea of how your genomic information will be interpreted three years from now and how that interpretation might affect you or your children. It's also unscalable as the ability to promise de-identification for research becomes less and less realistic.<o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'> <o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'>The simple fact is that surveillance, data processing, and data storage is now effectively free compared to the economic value of the patient data.
