CDT launches health privacy initiative
Privacy needs to be a higher priority as the US government and other groups push for adoption of health IT as a way to improve the country's health-care system, said the Center for Democracy and Technology, which has launched a health privacy initiative.
Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius will hold a conference call with members of the media, David Blumenthal, National Coordinator for Health Information Technology, and Mary Wakefield, Administrator of the Health Resources and Services Administration, to discuss the release of new resources to support health information technology at community health centers on Tuesday, September 29 at 11:10 AM EDT.
