title: Ownership of health information in the information age.
abstract: The question "Who owns health information?" has no simple answer. The authors examine problems related to traditional ownership in the age of aggregated information and offer suggestions as to how some of these issues can be clarified and resolved. A sidebar examines the traditional view of provider and patient ownership and how these structures are changing.
