The Surveillance Model of Medicine — Part II
Providers Not Allowed Fully Autonomous Decision Making
In the new surveillance model of medicine…
In Part I of The Surveillance Model of Medicine, I provided an overview of the CDS Connect system, the privacy concerns that have presented themselves due to increased interoperability of HIT systems, and changes to regulatory protections such as the common rule which present serious ethical and privacy concerns of their own.
CDS Connect is a project of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) Alliance to Modernize Healthcare which is ‘a Federally Funded Research and Development Center (FFRDC) operated by the MITRE Corporation, in service to the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ).’ [1]
We’re going to pick up where we left off and talk a bit about the ecosystem that’s emerged in the wake of the HITECH Act of 2009 among other legislation, the coding logic that was programmed into the CDS Connect system, and the engineering of a false narrative that is causing unnecessary human suffering and death in the United States.
Please read Part I of this series before you delve into this in-depth piece for definitions and background.
