United States Launched an Investigation over Collection of Medical Data by Google Project
We are talking about the provisions of the Law on Mobility and Accountability of Health Insurance (HIPAA), adopted in 1996. According to the media, it allows hospitals to exchange data with their partners, without informing patients, only if the information is used to “help the insurance entity perform its functions of the health authority”. Experts say the Nightingale project is valid.
“We believe that Google’s work with Ascension is consistent with industry-wide guidelines (including HIPAA) regarding patient information and privacy guidelines for data usage”, a company spokesperson said.
