Keynote Address: Protecting Privacy While Expanding HIT and HIE
Deborah C. Peel, MD, our invited guest, will speak about Patient Privacy Rights.

Dr. Peel is a practicing physician and national expert on medical privacy. She became active in privacy rights at the federal level in 1993 when the Clinton Healthcare Initiative required every doctor-patient encounter to be entered in a federal health database.

She advocated first as an individual and later on behalf of state and national medical specialty organizations for patient control of access to medical records. She presents at national panels and Congressional briefings, has provided state and federal testimony, and is widely quoted in trade journals and the national press. She is also the co-chair of the Committee on Government Relations and Insurance of the American Psychoanalytic Association.
