Description
The health care industry is by some accounts the second most regulated industry in the country. But, the face of health care and associated biomedical research and innovation have changed radically in the last decade – in large part due to a revolution in the way that information is gained, stored, shared…and sometimes abused. This explosion of availability of data has resulted in a variety of new issues and twists on existing issues that challenge us to rethink the way that our health care system is organized, the ways in which health related information is and can be used, and the structure, pace and focus of the way in which we conduct clinical research to identify the next generation of medical advances. This emerging area of health law – often referred to as the “life sciences” – encompasses a number of fascinating issues that occupy the front cover of newspapers each day. This class will cover privacy, health information technology, electronic health care records, research, stem cell research and other topics in the life sciences.
