Question

The government now requires physicians to store patient information in databases that are accessible in multiple locations by multiple people if they want to qualify for certain reimbursements. The rationale is that this will enable healthcare providers the ability to better serve their patients, as all will have access to the patients’ medical history. Many patients worry about compromised privacy and security, especially since these databases are accessible via the Internet. Should patients be allowed to opt-out of these data collection systems or should it remain a government mandate? Provide justification for your answer.
