CareTalk: Healthcare. Unfiltered. · 2026-08-21 · 28 min
Send us Fan Mail A patient's right to control their own health data now depends almost entirely on which state they live in or happen to seek care in. The patchwork is growing, and the clinical and compliance consequences are catching up fast. Leigh Burchell, Vice President of Policy and Public Affairs at Altera Digital Health and Chair of the Electronic Health Record Association, joins host David E. Williams to discuss why states moving in opposite directions on sensitive health data are creating real patient safety risks, and what it costs EHR vendors in hundreds to thousands of engineering hours every time another state writes its own version of the rules. ️️ABOUT LEIGH BURCHELL Winner of the Changemaker in Health (Policy) and Most Influential Women in Health IT awards and a long-time leader with the EHR Association, I am a passionate advocate about the opportunities that exist for health outcomes improvement and cost containment thanks to the country's widespread adoption of health information technology.
