Ambulances in germany have a camera recording everything that is happening inside.
It protects the patients if the first responders fuck up or are psychos. And it protects the workers from false claim court cases.
Whats bad about that?
Hmm thinking about it, I guess in germany the ambulance is not run by companies.
One issue is particularly in regards to the audio. While an argument can be made that having video record protects the patients from malpractice and protects the EMTs from abusive patients, the audio would contain a LOT of HIPAA-protected details such as the patient’s name, date of birth, insurance details, known diagnoses, prescribed medications, etc. While the video obviously captures a person’s face and body, possibly in injured or nude states, a lot of that technically isn’t HIPAA-protected material so there’s conceivably a loophole for video. But audio contributes basically nothing to anybody’s safety, and only serves to potentially leak a patient’s PII.
Why can’t you just add HIPAA controls around the video and audio content?
HIPAA isn’t an issue here, the audio and video would just be treated as PHI protected health information, like the video of a colonoscopy.
That’s my point.
There isn’t an issue recording these things, they just need the proper controls
