Same sponsors it appears. I think this is a dangerous database. Although their website states that HIV, mental illness, and chem dependency-related meds are filtered out, that still leaves a lot of information out there for any physician or pharmacist to view. Nothing seems to prohibit the medical director of a life insurance company from pulling any applicant's precription history to validate that every med they've ever taken is listed on the life insurance application. Nor does anything seem to prohibit a pharmacist in Seattle from accessing their brother-in-law's records from Miami. Where is my opt-in right as a patient? I should control who can see my health care records!!! This is an outgrowth of katrinahealth.org. Same sponsors it appears. I think this is a dangerous database.
