The American Hospital Association , along with the Texas Hospital Association and two nonprofit Texas health systems, filed a lawsuit against the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services in federal court in Fort Worth, Texas. The lawsuit accuses the agency of overstepping its authority when it issued the guidance in December.
Court records show several hospitals have been hit with proposed class actions that cite the guidance, accusing them of mishandling personal health information through the use of these trackers. The groups suing to stop the rule say they use these trackers in videos about health conditions, translation tools for website content and mapping technology to help potential patients find their locations. The guidance could force them to remove these tools, which they say would limit the information they can provide to the public.
