Can anyone say ‘hippa’ violations!
So, when will the Federal indictments kick in?
This facebook stuff is getting curiouser and curiouser.
I think that those of us in the medical community have far better ways to conduct medical research.
If, as it seems Facebook was proposing, you have patients in an anonymized pool, and you start matching them to Facebook users using algorithms, haven’t you just identified those patients?
I don’t see an IRB going for this. I wouldn’t if I were on the IRB.
Any sharing of medical info with patient identifying information would be a violation of HIPAA unless the patient specifically waives it for the receiving party.
All your data belong to us ... including what you never intended to share with us.
They’d be able to match people to their medical profiles very easily.
