Top Experts Discuss Privacy Risks at 2nd International Summit on the Future of Health Privacy

Psychiatry Patient’s Story Highlights Growing Threat to Privacy

WASHINGTON–(BUSINESS WIRE)– When a lawyer named “Julie” sought psychiatric treatment in Boston, she never imagined that the notes of sessions with her therapist would be digitized and made available to thousands of doctors and nurses—even dermatologists and podiatrists with no conceivable need for such private records. But that is precisely what happened. “Personal details that took me years to disclose during therapy are being shared throughout my medical network, against my will,” Julie says. “It’s destroyed my trust with my doctors.”

Julie will tell her story for the first time at the 2nd International Summit on the Future of Health Privacy, to be held in Washington, DC, on June 6-7. Sponsored by Patient Privacy Rights, the nation’s leading health privacy watchdog, and Georgetown University Law Center’s O’Neill Institute for National and Global Health Law, the Summit will explore the often-alarming privacy implications of the nation’s race to digitize patient medical records.
