Abstract

PURPOSE: To develop a management system of written reports using a Web server and search engine. METHODS: All the reports written through word processing software in the local area network in the radiology department were automatically transferred to one of the PC servers, in which a Web server and search engine were in operation. Previous reports, approximately eighty thousand, were also registered. Using Web browsers and the program developed by hypertext mark-up language and JavaScript, all the reports were readily accessible by keywords, or by any words within reports. RESULTS: Over 100, 000 reports were easily accessible using Web browsers, based on our one-year experience. Maintaining the Web server and search engine, and upgrading the program were easily managed in our daily practice. CONCLUSION: The report management system we developed is flexible, scalable, and easy to maintain. It is an effective way to manage a large volume of radiology reports written through word processing software.

Legal issues concerning electronic health information: privacy, quality, and liability.

Personally identifiable health information about individuals and general medical information is increasingly available in electronic form in health databases and through online networks. The proliferation of electronic data within the modern health information infrastructure presents significant benefits for medical providers and patients, including enhanced patient autonomy, improved clinical treatment, advances in health research and public health surveillance, and modern security techniques. However, it also presents new legal challenges in 3 interconnected areas: privacy of identifiable health information, reliability and quality of health data, and tortbased liability. Protecting health information privacy (by giving individuals control over health data without severely restricting warranted communal uses) directly improves the quality and reliability of health data (by encouraging individual uses of health services and communal uses of data), which diminishes tort-based liabilities (by reducing instances of medical malpractice or privacy invasions through improvements in the delivery of health care services resulting in part from better quality and reliability of clinical and research data). Following an analysis of the interconnectivity of these 3 areas and discussing existing and proposed health information privacy laws, recommendations for legal reform concerning health information privacy are presented. These include (1) recognizing identifiable health information as highly sensitive, (2) providing privacy safeguards based on fair information practices, (3) empowering patients with information and rights to consent to disclosure (4) limiting disclosures of health data absent consent, (5) incorporating industry-wide security protections, (6) establishing a national data protection authority, and (7) providing a national minimal level of privacy protections.
