HLS Library Book Talk | Transparency in Health and Health Care in the United States: Law and Ethics

In June 2019, Cambridge University Press published Transparency in Health and Health Care in the United States. This volume, edited by Holly Fernandez Lynch, I. Glenn Cohen, Carmel Shachar, and Barbara J. Evans, stems from the Petrie-Flom Center’s 2017 annual conference, which brought together leading experts to reach better understandings of this health policy buzzword, recognizing its true limitations, so that transparency can be utilized as a solution to pressing health policy issues.

On September 16, Cohen and Fernandez Lynch were joined by Harvard Medical School Assistant Professor Ameet Sarpatwari, and Elena Fagotto co-investigator of Project on Transparency and Technology for Better Health, for a panel discussion and book launch event.

This event was cosponsored by the Harvard Law School Library and the Petrie-Flom Center for Health Law Policy, Biotechnology, and Bioethics at Harvard Law School.
