Patient Privacy Rights Foundation

  • Our mission is to ensure that Americans control all access to their health records.

    Why we formed Patient Privacy Rights:


    We believe patients own their personal health information and the physician’s oath to keep patients’ information inviolably secret is fundamental to trust in the healthcare system.

    We believe our personal health information should only be used to improve health.

    We believe electronic health records can help improve efficiency, lead to research breakthroughs, and lower the costs of healthcare, but only if informed consent is given first for all uses.

    We believe when patients do not trust doctors or the health system to protect their privacy, they withhold information, avoid care and become sicker.

    We believe adoption and utilization of electronic health records will fail without the public’s trust.

    Your personal health information is your private property. You should have the right to decide who can see and use your most intimate data and who cannot.
