September 12: Electronic Health Records and Medical Big Data: Law and Policy

The transition from paper medical records to electronic health record (EHR) systems has had a dramatic impact on clinical care. In addition, EHR systems enable the creation of “medical big data,” that is, very large electronic data resources that can be put to secondary, non-clinical uses, such as medical research, public health initiatives, quality improvement efforts, and other health-related endeavors. The talk will evaluate what EHR systems and big data have to offer and what their shortcomings are. It will also address how the law has responded to the advent of EHR systems and big data so far. Finally, the talk will conclude with suggestions regarding what more should be done in terms of both regulation and technology in order to make sure that EHR systems and medical big data fulfill their promise and do not endanger patients and the public at large.
