First Report Comparing Privacy Laws Nationally Shows Wide Variation In
Consumer Protections –
Georgetown University's Health Privacy Project,
http://www.healthprivacy.com, today released a detailed report laying out
how states are legislating medical records' confidentiality. Entitled The
State of Health Privacy: An Uneven Terrain, the report is the first
publication of its kind to provide a comprehensive comparison of health
privacy laws at the state level. The report reveals wide variability in
the way states approach health privacy issues. Until this report, there
has never been a factual record on which to assess the potential impact of
federal legislation on state policies.
