CDT Joint Comments to HHS Request for Information (Health Breach Notification)

CDT, along with The Markle Foundation, submitted these comments in response to the request for information issued by the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). The Markle Foundation’s Connecting for Health Initiative has since 2002 brought together leading government, industry, and health care experts to accelerate the development of a health information-sharing environment to improve the quality and cost-effectiveness of health care. The Center for Democracy and Technology (CDT), through its Health Privacy Project, promotes comprehensive privacy and security policies to protect health data as information technology is increasingly used to support the exchange of health information.
