Protecting a patient’s privacy has always been of paramount importance in the healthcare industry, but as you know, the last few years have brought about entirely new privacy requirements that require your compliance. HIPAA regulations stipulate that all methods available should be used to ensure the patient’s privacy is maintained, including the records that are sent electronically.
Years after the privacy rule went into effect, hospitals and other covered entities (CEs) are struggling with basic concepts that underlie compliance, such as what the “minimum necessary” standard means. Mistrust among CEs is rampant, and many have implemented business practices in the name of privacy and security that have no basis in law.
