CDT Calls for Privacy Standards in Health IT Bill - CDT and the Health Privacy Project called for the inclusion of privacy protection standards in a Senate bill intended to spur development of electronic health records and other applications of information technology in the health care field. CDT and HPP support the goals of the Wired for Health Care Quality Act, but said in a letter to Sen. Edward Kennedy, chairman of the Senate Health Committee, that privacy should be an integral part of any health information technology project. The bill, S. 1693, was approved by the committee on June 27 and awaits action by the full Senate. July 25, 2007
