If you search “big toe hurts”, Big Google Brother adds it to your database in their records.

Health care systems have health care records?
It’s Armageddon, I tells ya.

[Pajamajan]

Giant HIPAA violation.

If this data has not been de-identified, Ascension has violated federal law by giving it to Google.

My bet is that is has been de-identified... and this article is a bit of fear mongering...

If they are adding any personal identifiers that allow someone to identify a specific individual then it is a HIPAA violation unless they have an expressly signed waiver.

Kiss all privacy goodbye thanks to electronic medical records.

[ridesthemiles]

So much for the “HIPPA Laws’.

All the big tech companies probably need to be destroyed and lots of their ‘just doing my job’ people terminated permanently, Their moral systems are totally shot and can never be trusted again.

Ha!

I'm Safe!

My Doc's office got ransomwared last year and now only have written records.

I wonder if Google is buying health information from government agencies like OSHPD in California? OSHPD has hundreds of millions of people’s health care records dating back to the 1980s.

Google is evil.

De-google your life.

If they’re ever charged with a crime, by the time it gets to the SC, they’ll already have made copies of everything and everyone 10 times over.

If Google slanders you, erroneously says you smoke, when you do not, how do you get justice? They keep secret data until you are harmed.

[forgotten man]

I do not touch Google and I would not touch Google or g-mail with a 10 foot poll. I was thinking about setting up an account with Uber. When I learned that you must have a g-mail account (Google e-mail) to get a ride wit Uber I dropped the idea. I will take the bus instead. If you take Uber to a medical appointment Google will keep the data. If you take Uber to a gun show Google would probably refuse your rides to your medical appointments. Big Brother is watching.

They can have my health data. I defy statistics. At 83, everything works, nothing hurts, and I don’t take prescription drugs—except two very rudimentary BP drugs which have brought my BP down to the average for a teenage boy.

I suspect they really don’t want my data because it defies pharmaceutical company standards. Horrors!!!!

[Redcitizen]

I see the 👽 aliens won’t need to do probes anymore with accessible electronic health records.

This important document produced by The Citizens' Council for Health Freedom and Twila Brase ...

22 HIPAA HARMS

details how HIPPA is not to protect privacy but to formalize how it can be intruded upon.

Example:
“HIPAA is often described as a privacy rule. It is not. In fact, HIPAA is a disclosure regulation, and it has effectively dismantled the longstanding moral and legal tradition of patient confidentiality.” –Dr. Richard Sobel, Associate, Du Bois Institute, Harvard University

Twila Brase is President of The Citizens’ Council for Health Freedom (CCHF) - website: https://www.cchfreedom.org with this mission statement:

Protect health care choices, individualized patient care and medical and genetic privacy rights.

If you listen to Christian radio, you have likely heard her daily 1 minute broadcasts detailing the fight against obamacare, expense, and other privacy issues regarding medical care. She runs another site that advocates for doctors who run practices outside the insurance realm - https://www.cchfreedom.org .
