ONC Looks to Update Model Privacy Notice
The Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology is redesigning a boilerplate health IT company privacy notice it issued a year ago. The proposal to redesign the model notice of privacy practices was recently announced on the Office of the Federal Register’s website.
The ONC first released the notice for covered healthcare entities in September 2011 to post as a standard label similar to other industries’ mandated consumer labels—for example, the food industry’s nutrition facts label. the ONC’s OFR notice stated, “if patients cannot adequately understand the notice because of its length or complexity, then the use and disclosure of their health information is not open and transparent.”

PHI
One major implications on medical practices is that patients now have a broadened right to request restrictions on uses and disclosures of their protected health information (“PHI”), including a right to restrict the disclosure of health information in any form to a health plan for payment or healthcare operations with respect to specific items and services for which the patient has paid the practice out-of-pocket, in full.

Receptiveness to Healthcare Personalization and Sharing Personal Health Information
According to a survey from Intel, more than 70 percent of respondents are receptive to using toilet sensors, prescription bottle sensors or swallowed monitors to collect ongoing and actionable personal health data.
Sixty-six percent of people prefer a personalized healthcare regimen designed specifically for them based on their genetic profile or biology. And, 53 percent of those surveyed said they would trust a test they personally administered as much or more than if it came from a doctor.
The survey revealed an overwhelming majority of people (84 percent) globally would anonymously share their personal health information, such as lab results, if it could lower medication costs or overall cost to the healthcare system.
A higher percentage of people said they are more willing to share their health records (47 percent) than their phone records (38 percent) or banking information (30 percent) to aid innovation.
