Olin Hyde noted a nifty survey on
patient control of electronic health record information the other day.
But he interpreted it in a dour way, at least for my own worldview of
openness. Here’s his tweet:
Bad news for #opendata

“@berniemd31: Study: Patients
Want To Control #EHR

The article talks about how patients want control over the privacy of
their data, so I can see why this is an easy interpretation to make.
You’re a patient, someone tells you how much crap is happening with your
data, and your gut reaction is to protect it. Makes sense.
