This genetic information may become part of an individual’s medical record, creating the potential for discrimination in employment, insurance purchase, and other areas. The Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act and Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act have provisions intended to protect individuals from genetic discrimination, but the healthcare industry and societal influences threaten individuals’ genetic privacy. At the same time, healthcare reform and the movement to identify the most effective medical treatments have resulted in increased interest in secondary use of individuals’ medical information, including genetic information. Through a literature review, this paper examines how data privacy, data security, and electronic health records have influenced the current understanding of genetic privacy 000000422 540__ $$fCC BY 000000422 542__ $$fIn copyright - single owner 000000422 650__ $$aComputer Security$$029164 000000422 650__ $$aGenetic Privacy$$033843 000000422 650__ $$aElectronic Health Records$$038928 000000422 650__ $$aDatabases, Genetic$$033839 000000422 6531_ $$alegislation and jurisprudence 000000422 691__ $$aSchool of Medicine$$041369 000000422 692__ $$aDepartment of Medical Informatics and Clinical Epidemiology$$041422 000000422 7001_ $$aPetersen, Carolyn$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354 000000422 7201_ $$aDorr, David$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354$$7Personal$$eAdvisor 000000422 8564_ $$96b68084b-7822-4093-9d7b-6b3630408faa$$s269819$$uhttps://digitalcollections.ohsu.edu/record/422/files/423_etd.pdf 000000422 905__ $$a/rest/prod/rf/55/z7/71/rf55z7713 000000422 909CO $$ooai:digitalcollections.ohsu.edu:422$$pstudent-work 000000422 980__ $$aBiomedical Informatics
