This practice has itself come to be known as noncompetitive privacy policy."<br /><br />I'd simply like to clarify that while I appreciate your interest in promoting patient privacy and security, you have mis-characterized our company and service and I can understand why this may have happened, based on your background and the fact that we had inadvertently left in a particular privacy term that was drafted by our legal counsel and rejected by our management team. In fact, this privacy term was removed at the end of December and the update was posted on the iB homepage, which is our standard practice.<br /><br />The leading EMS providers in the U.S. will tell you that iB is a voluntary service that is filling a critical gap in emergency care. This gap has been left open for too long. By giving people the opportunity to share a limited amount of vital health information with licensed and trained EMS providers during medical emergencies, they can reduce costly medical errors and delays -- and just as importantly -- ensure that the patient's designated emergency contacts be notified instantly.<br /><br />For five bucks a year, iB could help save your life in a medical emergency. It really is that simple. We are not in this business of aggregating and selling our customer's data. We never have and we never will.Noah Roberts, President and CEO, Docviahttp://www.invisiblebracelet.org/noreply@blogger.com
