    What’s wrong with a patient centred IT focus where the patient is empowered with both health and privacy decision making? Without sufficient patient autonomy for patients to make decisions about their own information and care do they not become merely the subjects to be moved through the system without volition?

    Increased efficiency looks great on paper, but in practice, we may see something different.

    Patients need to be informed, especially when it concerns their own health. But inefficient decisions can still be made…and often are.
