Patients should be aware of what information will be released and to who - that is the whole reason we have the HIPPA (healthcare information privacy and portability act - I think) law. It's not perfect, and realistically there are a lot of people who can view the patient record. For most of them, though, it's just a matter of making sure things are recorded correctly or completely, and they have no direct interest in the patient as a person. That includes insurance reviewers, case managers, and anyone else who is involved in paying for health care.
Yes. All individuals and organizations with some form of access to the computerized data bases, and the level of access permitted, should be specifically identified in advance.

a database
This database collects and stores data on patient follow-up to track health outcomes and trends over time. By analyzing the data, public health professionals can identify patterns, assess interventions, and make informed decisions to improve public health outcomes.
Yes. The data belong to the patients. To respect the privacy such disclosure should be binding.
I think it's a priviledged communication between a doctor and a patient. It will be confined to hospital records only. Hope it helps.
