Hospitals and Healthcare
There are many challenges facing hospitals and healthcare in the modern world we are living in. I've created this curation collection to save articles that help me understand what modern health in society is.  The articles here are general in nature and placed here to promote discussion. We advise that you talk with your health professional before changing any of your medication or treatment options.  Any of the online courses listed here may (or may not) be open for access or enrolment. Most are free to browse, some may charge a small fee if you wish to receive a certificate or record of learning.   Every effort is made to ensure that these links are up to date and be aware that some of these articles may be behind a 'paywall'. If you can’t get into an article, email me and I may be able to assist.  Views are my own.

Medical appointment booking app HealthEngine sharing clients' personal information with lawyers - ABC News (Australian Broadcasting Corporation) | Hospitals and Healthcare | Scoop.it
An Australian medical appointment booking app, which boasts more than 15 million users a year, is passing on patients' information to personal injury lawyers and other third parties.
Peter Mellow's insight:
HealthEngine replied to the tweet around this article with the following statement:

"Consent to these referrals is entirely voluntary and opt-in, and we do not provide any personal information for the purposes of a referral without this consent."

"Contrary to the ABC report’s suggestion, consent to these referrals is not hidden in our policies but obtained through a simple pop-up form during the booking process or provided verbally to a HealthEngine consultant."
