Patient Safeguards in Healthcare Reform
A credible reform must protect patient rights as seriously as it pursues efficiency.
Six safeguards for every legal instrument
Information
Patients should understand the role of digital systems and data processing.
Human decision
No diagnosis, refusal or adverse direction should rely on uncontrolled automation.
Traceability
Relevant decisions, versions and access events should be logged.
Correction and redress
Patients should be able to report an error, obtain correction and appeal.
Continuity
A failure, merger or transfer must not interrupt care.
Why this is cross-cutting
Measures 5.01 to 5.08 involve different professions, data, prices and institutions. Common safeguards prevent efficiency gains from becoming losses of rights or safety.
