The benefits, risks and costs of privacy: patient preferences and willingness to pay.

Conclusions: Patients were very willing to share medical information with their providers. They were able to see the importance of sharing medical information to provide the best possible care. They were unwilling to hide information from providers if there was increased medical risk. Patients were willing to spend additional time for privacy, but most were unwilling to spend extra money. Sixty-eight percent of patients favored reducing medical costs over privacy. PMID: 28166481 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
