Personal health information is the next national security problem | Between the Lines | ZDNet.com

Over the past 5 years, every medical visit, drug and appointment you have ever had is now bar-coded, logged and tracked on paper and sometimes the local clinic you go to. If you visited the emergency room at a hospital, that visit was likely recorded on the local server at that facility. The records will include every personal detail about you and your family’s health, becoming the basis of information for EMR. Local medical record storage has never been a problem since most systems are not accessible from the outside world and thus are on a computer server, but segregated from an integrated or national system. That will soon change.
