Privacy Forum Seeks Controls Over Gov't Use of Patient Genetic Data

“The World Privacy Forum filed public comments with the Department of Health and Human Services in response to an HHS request for information regarding the use of patients’ genetic data for research, health care, and for use in electronic health records. The World Privacy Forum is requesting that HHS use all Fair Information Principles in any personalized health care projects, and is requesting that a formal ELSI (ethical, legal, and social implications) committee be set up to oversee any projects, among other requests.”
