Discussion Questions
People are
sometimes shocked to realize how much personal data can be maintained in master
patient indexes—such as marital status and problematic payment histories or
cancellations. People are also surprised to realize how much medical
information may be shared—for example, a doctor you are visiting for pneumonia
may see that you are taking medications for mental illness.
Do you think the benefits of master patient indexes outweigh
the disadvantages, or have medical records gone too far in documenting and
sharing private information? Explain your reasons. Respond to
classmates by suggesting the kind of policy for master patient indexes you feel
would be appropriate for your concerns.
Recall
the difference between registers and registries. If you had the authority, what
policy would you put in place regarding the availability of medical information
for registers and registries? Respond to classmates by noting
whether their policies seem to expand or curtail the current availability of
medical information to registers and registries.
