Generally, what does the HIPAA Privacy Rule require the average provider or health plan to do?
For the average health care provider or health plan, the Privacy Rule requires activities, such as:
Notifying patients about their privacy rights and how their information can be used.
Adopting and implementing privacy procedures for its practice, hospital, or plan.
Training employees so that they understand the privacy procedures.
Designating an individual to be responsible for seeing that the privacy procedures are adopted and followed.
Securing patient records containing individually identifiable health information so that they are not readily available to those who do not need them.
Responsible health care providers and businesses already take many of the kinds of steps required by the Rule to protect patients’ privacy. Covered entities of all types and sizes are required to comply with the Privacy Rule. To ease the burden of complying with the new requirements, the Privacy Rule gives needed flexibility for providers and plans to create their own privacy procedures, tailored to fit their size and needs. The scalability of the Rule provides a more efficient and appropriate means of safeguarding protected health information than would any single standard. For example,
The privacy official at a small physician practice may be the office manager, who will have other non-privacy related duties; the privacy official at a large health plan may be a full-time position, and may have the regular support and advice of a privacy staff or board.
The training requirement may be satisfied by a small physician practice’s providing each new member of the workforce with a copy of its privacy policies and documenting that new members have reviewed the policies; whereas a large health plan may provide training through live instruction, video presentations, or interactive software programs.
The policies and procedures of small providers may be more limited under the Rule than those of a large hospital or health plan, based on the volume of health information maintained and the number of interactions with those within and outside of the health care system.
We are the world’s first super state but we both lost our sovereignty!
