Patients are Concerned
Did you know...
A recent Gallup survey commissioned by MedicAlert illustrates just how important and concerned patients are about their privacy. 77 percent of Americans polled feel that their personal health information privacy is very important. 84 percent said they were very concerned or somewhat concerned that personal health information might be made available to others without their consent.
Only 7 percent said they are willing to store or transmit personal health information on the Internet and 8 percent felt a Web site could be trusted with such information.
