Hospitals have granted Microsoft Corp., International Business Machines Corp. and Amazon.com Inc. the ability to access identifiable patient information under deals to crunch millions of health records, the latest examples of hospitals’ growing influence in the data economy.
They are on it...
“Hospitals are massive containers of patient data,” said Lisa Bari, a consultant...Hospitals can share patient data as long as they follow federal privacy laws, “The data belongs to whoever has it.” Maybe she needs to not be a consultant.
BitOne17 They're selling patients's record uncontrollably!
What could possibly go wrong?
This country has no future.

My provider charges $320 for a simple office visit. Now they are also earning money on my data, apparently without me having any say in it. Where is all this money going and why is health care so much more expensive then anywhere else in the world?
They can still patient's records unfetteredly?
In other words Tech companies over promised using AI as a way to lure the health industry into giving them data. Then they will put it up on the cloud. Some hacktivist will eventually expose them. Everyone will complain. No one will be held accountable and the cycle will repeat.
That is very dangerous.
Wish I had the same access to my own records.
This is a BIG mistake Massive honeypot for hackers
What? 😡
