A comprehensive resource on health information technology and its legal, ethical, and policy implications, focusing on the intersection of law and policy. Combining exhaustive research with accessible writing, it will appeal to readers with diverse levels of expertise, including academics, students, health care providers, attorneys, and policy-makers.
This book helps readers gain an in-depth understanding of electronic health record (EHR) systems, medical big data, and the regulations that govern them. It analyzes both the shortcomings and benefits of EHR systems, exploring the law's response to the creation of these systems, highlighting gaps in the current legal framework, and developing detailed recommendations for regulatory, policy, and technological improvements. Electronic Health Records and Medical Big Data addresses not only privacy and security concerns but also other important challenges, such as those related to data quality and data analysis. In addition, the author formulates a large body of recommendations to improve the technology's safety, security, and efficacy for both clinical and secondary (such as research) uses of medical data.

Sharona Hoffman is Professor of Law and Bioethics at Case Western Reserve University. She has written over twenty articles and book chapters on EHR systems and medical big data. In 2014, she was a Distinguished Scholar in Residence at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's Center for Surveillance, Epidemiology and Laboratory Services. Sharona Hoffman is the author of Aging with a Plan: How a Little Thought Today Can Vastly Improve Your Tomorrow (2015).
