title: Health information and health insurance.
abstract: In summary, the need for protection of personal privacy, especially when it comes to sensitive medical information, should be regulated to prevent unnecessary and unauthorized dissemination. At the same time, in the interests of optimal patient care at the least expense, regulations, procedures and technology must be in place to allow ready access by all professionals having responsibility for providing and managing this care. In addition, the system must provide for similar ease and right of access to insurers and their representatives who have contracted with the client for necessary health benefits.
