2 Minute Drill: Data Privacy Day - Why Patient Trust Depends on Responsibility with Drex DeFord

On Data Privacy Day, Drexon challenges healthcare leaders to move beyond compliance checkboxes and recognize privacy as a core component of "do no harm." As patient data flows through EHRs, cloud platforms, and AI systems, the responsibility to protect that trust doesn't live in policies—it lives with leadership. When data is over-collected or loosely governed, patients start holding back, and the critical trust between medical teams and patients begins to fracture. This year, data privacy should be about ownership: who decides what data we truly need, and who's willing to say no even when technology makes it easy?Remember, Stay a Little Paranoid X: This Week Health LinkedIn: This Week Health Donate: Alex’s Lemonade Stand: Foundation for Childhood Cancer
