Abstract
We take the position that audit mechanisms are essential for privacy protection in healthcare environments. Although audits are used in practice and commercial tools that provide assistance for audits are emerging, we currently lack rigorous models and definitions of properties that can guide the design of appropriate audit mechanisms. We report on our recent result that presents a principled learning-theoretic approach to audits with the goal of stimulating discussion and additional research on this problem.
