Table 1.

Points to Consider12

1. How will the system make transparent the uses and flows of clinical information so that patients can make informed choices about disclosing/restricting their information?
2. How will the system structure the array of choices patients can specify for disclosure and nondisclosure of their clinical information?
3. How will technologically and/or medically unsophisticated patients, or those with other challenges, exercise their choices for granular control of their information?
4. How will the system inform providers of a patient’s preferences for data access/restrictions?
5. Under what circumstances/conditions will the system allow health care providers to access patient data in ways that may override stated preferences for granular control?
6. How will patients be told about mandatory reporting requirements (e.g., public health, gunshots, abuse, disease registries, etc.) and their impact on granular control?
