Big Brother in the Exam Room: The Dangerous Truth about Electronic Health Records

Twila Brase, author of the 2018 book Big Brother in the Exam Room: The Dangerous Truth about Electronic Health Records, says the electronic health record (EHR) is not what patients think it is. It interferes with patient care, is being used to violate patient rights, it makes sensitive data vulnerable to hackers, and it is threatening patient safety and medical excellence. 

On September 25 watch the author of Big Brother in the Exam Room and other leading scholars discuss the impact of EHRs on patient care, privacy rights, and patient safety—and the steps that patients, policymakers, and others can take to protect patient rights and safety in the exam room.
