Between Public and Private: Electronic Health Record-sharing, Health Privacy Principles, and Hepatitis C.
Journal of Law and Medicine 2023 December
People with (a history of) hepatitis C have concerns about privacy and the confidentiality of their health information. This is often due to the association between hepatitis C and injecting drug use and related stigma. In Australia, recent data breaches at a major private health insurer and legislative reforms to increase access to electronic health records have heightened these concerns. Drawing from interviews with people with lived experience of hepatitis C and stakeholders working in this area, this article explores the experiences and concerns of people with (a history of) hepatitis C in relation to the sharing of their health records. It considers the potential application of health privacy principles in the context of hepatitis C and argues for the development of guidelines concerning the privacy of health records held by health departments and public hospitals. Such principles might also inform reforms to legislation regarding access to health records.
