We are joined by UNC law professor Richard Saver, who presents his new research on the Sunshine Law that was part of the ACA. His findings are fascinating, and inevitably led to a broader discussion of the worth of transparency-based regulation.
We mentioned the work of many past show guests, including Charles Ornstein’s great project on “Dollars for Doctors” at ProPublica, Kristin Madison’s analysis of how information-based regulation works, Nathan Cortez on agency publicity, and Bill Sage’s work on disclosure as a regulatory strategy. Frank asked some questions based on an article on big data in medicine, and his book The Black Box Society. And some final thoughts from danah boyd, offered in another context: transparency is not enough, and transparency ≠ accountability.
