PLANO, Texas, June 14 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Natural disasters such as Katrina illustrate the importance of sharing critical medical information across dissimilar infrastructures, while at the same time, protecting individual privacy. New information systems can achieve both goals, but high cost and public mistrust present hurdles to adoption of these technologies.
Dr. Carol Diamond, MPH, managing director of the Health Program for the Markle Foundation, and chairperson of Connecting to Health, joins Healthcare Tech and the World host Dr. Kevin Fickenscher to discuss why new systems are critical to address public health needs, and how innovative data sharing models and effective privacy policies help gain public trust.
