Healthcare workers will be required to wear a body cam at all times. It will be sold to the public as for "patient safety." It will be sold you as a means to "reduce lawsuits" and "to reduce violence against healthcare workers." They're sorting out the details of HIPAA compliance, safe transfer and storage in the EHR.
When implemented, the actual reason will be none of the above. It will be because they found a way to make it profitable, better track metrics (they know these are being gamed), enforce patient satisfaction, remove inefficient staff and 'non-team players,' including doctors. Everything you'll say and do, will be on tape, from the minute you walk in the door, until you leave. Refusing to wear the cam, will be grounds for termination.
Once the Hospital-Government-CMG-Complex has ensured the profitability of the practice, it's implementation will be unstoppable.
