CDT Launches Health Privacy Initiative
Another group, Patient Privacy Rights, has endorsed the bill. Patient privacy groups are "making real progress -- and legislators are listening," said Dr. Deborah Peel, founder and chairwoman of the group. "This bill puts patients back in control of their health information and requires many of the privacy principles our coalition demands. It's refreshing to share good news about Congress."
HPP's Goldman, who's been splitting her time between the group and as a research scholar at Columbia University, will step aside as the project's director, but remain as a senior adviser. By working together, HPP and CDT will create a "powerhouse" organization focused on health privacy, she said.
