The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

The Consumer Product Safety Commission is demanding personally identifiable hospital health records to be shared with a private company.

msn.com - Will DC hospitals have to give trump konza health your er records

The Trump administration is reportedly demanding emergency rooms across the nation hand over personally identifiable medical records for millions of patients, which critics are calling a controversial expansion of federal health surveillance.

Led by the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), the initiative seeks access to patient records for thousands of conditions, ranging from routine broken bones to vaccine reactions and adult suicide attempts, according to an investigation by KFF Health News.

Historically, the CPSC — a small agency often tasked with regulating safety for consumer goods like appliances and toys — monitored injuries through a voluntary program known as the National Electronic Injury Surveillance System (NEISS).

Under NEISS, hospital staff reviewed records and submitted data specifically tied to product safety. Now, the CPSC is shifting away from human-managed reporting in favor of an automated system designed to sweep up massive volumes of electronic health records, KFF Health News reports.

Under a contract with Konza Health, the new system automatically extracts emergency room records covering more than 10,000 diagnostic conditions. Despite federal laws requiring public notice before collecting data, CPSC officials quietly instructed hospitals to supply detailed, identifiable health records as part of a goal to bring 100 facilities into the network by the end of the year.
