I give my perspective on issues of physician privacy in this video from The HealthCare Channel, including:

  • Can physicians challenge online review sites such as Health Grades or Vitals.com to have critical patient comments removed?
  • The Supreme Court will rule soon on the case against the State of Vermont and the law banning the sale of prescription data to companies for use in marketing to those physicians.  
  • Is there a downside to doctors moving to electronic medical records, particularly extra monitoring and restriction of medical practice due to state and federal monitoring?
