Dispute surfaces over certification for personal health records: "AHIC, a high-level advisory committee to the Department of Health and Human Services, sided with the majority on its Consumer Empowerment Workgroup and voted unanimously in favor of the certification recommendation.
A minority -- five members of the 23-person workgroup -- took the position that certification would be premature and the top priority should be privacy and security policies for PHRs. “The risks [of certification now] outweigh any potential benefits,” the dissenters said in a letter to AHIC."
