Healthcare Risks, Privacy Risks, and Blowing Up MU


All of healthcare has risks. The key is getting a good grasp of all the risks. Are we doing that really well in healthcare IT and EHR?


I repeatedly find that most people are happy to give up some privacy risk for the potential for better health. This increases even more when someone is seriously sick. Privacy becomes even less important to them.


I always love to see tweets from someone I’ve never met or heard of tweeting out my articles. Tim did a good job summarizing my post about blowing up meaningful use. The post has gotten some good traction and a great discussion. I’m sure that they won’t take my exact approach, but I hope that it will help push ONC to move MU in a direction of extreme simplification.
