  8. (AD-706 963). PRIVACY AND INFORMATION SYSTEMS: AN ARGUMENT AND AN IMPLEMENTATION. J. J. Hellman, Rand Corp., Santa Monica, Calif. May 1970, 77 pp. Agglomeration of data on individuals, via the computer, presents a serious threat to the individual's right to privacy according to a consultant to the Rand Corporation. If allowed to proliferate, the deleterious effects on the individual, and therefore society, are likely to be irreparable. In his study of social and technical implications of information systems vis à vis the individual's ability to control dissemination of information about himself, the researcher concludes that information systems must incorporate certain properties in their initial design in order to safeguard man's individuality while still providing a complex and interdependent society the information it needs to function effectively. These properties are: (1) control of access by the individual, (2) accuracy and completeness of information, (3) audit trail, and (4) potent legislative support. The researcher applies these properties of safe information systems to problems currently encountered in the medical environment and suggests ways of using available techniques to safeguard society.
