When you’re striving to be HIPAA compliant, the idea of third-party hosting can be daunting. Learn the key elements to consider when assessing your hosting environment for HIPAA compliance.
While the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) is best known for its multitude of requirements that govern the way health care providers can use, disclose, and safeguard protected health information (PHI), its reach goes far beyond that to health plans and business associates that only handle PHI on a limited basis. HIPAA implementation in these environments creates unique challenges—for example, which provisions actually need to be addressed—but with 2016 marking an all-time high for HIPAA enforcement cases, it may be more important now than ever to address HIPAA compliance.

This is a summary of key elements of the Security Rule including who is covered, what
information is protected, and what safeguards must be in place to ensure appropriate protection
of electronic protected health information. Because it is an overview of the Security Rule, it does
not address every detail of each provision.
Introduction
The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) required the
Secretary of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to develop regulations
protecting the privacy and security of certain health information.1 To fulfill this requirement,
HHS published what are commonly known as the HIPAA Privacy Rule and the HIPAA Security
Rule. The Privacy Rule, or Standards for Privacy of Individually Identifiable Health Information,
establishes national standards for the protection of certain health information. The Security
Standards for the Protection of Electronic Protected Health Information (the Security Rule)
establish a national set of security standards for protecting certain health information that is held
or transferred in electronic form. The Security Rule operationalizes the protections contained in
the Privacy Rule by addressing the technical and non-technical safeguards that organizations
called “covered entities” must put in place to secure individuals’ “electronic protected health
information” (e-PHI). Within HHS, the Office for Civil Rights (OCR) has responsibility for
enforcing the Privacy and Security Rules with voluntary compliance activities and civil money
penalties.
Prior to HIPAA, no generally accepted set of security standards or general requirements for
protecting health information existed in the health care industry. At the same time, new
technologies were evolving, and the health care industry began to move away from paper
processes and rely more heavily on the use of electronic information systems to pay claims,
answer eligibility questions, provide health information and conduct a host of other
administrative and clinically based functions.
Today, providers are using clinical applications such as computerized physician order entry
(CPOE) systems, electronic health records (EHR), and radiology, pharmacy, and laboratory
systems. Health plans are providing access to claims and care management, as well as member
self-service applications. While this means that the medical workforce can be more mobile and
efficient (i.e., physicians can check patient records and test results from wherever they are), the
rise in the adoption rate of these technologies increases the potential security risks.

Chapter 10 Privacy and Security of Health RecordsLearnin.docxcravennichole326
Chapter 10 Privacy and Security of Health Records
Learning Outcomes
After completing this chapter, you should be able to:
♦ List HIPAA transactions and uniform identifiers
♦ Understand HIPAA privacy and security concepts
♦ Apply HIPAA privacy policy in a medical facility
♦ Discuss HIPAA security requirements and safeguards
♦ Follow security policy guidelines in a medical facility
♦ Explain electronic signatures
Understanding HIPAA
In Chapter 11 we will discuss various ways the Internet is being used for healthcare, including various implementations of EHR on the Internet, Internet-based personal health records (PHR), and remote access. In Chapter 12 we will explore the relationship of the EHR data to the determination of codes required for medical billing. Before moving to those topics it is prudent to understand HIPAA. HIPAA is an acronym for the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, passed by Congress in 1996.
The HIPAA law was intended to:
♦ Improve portability and continuity of health insurance coverage.
♦ Combat waste, fraud, and abuse in health insurance and healthcare delivery.
♦ Promote use of medical savings accounts
♦ Improve access to long-term care
♦ Simplify administration of health insurance
HIPAA law regulates many things. However, a portion known as the Administrative Simplification Subsection1 of HIPAA covers entities such as health plans, clearinghouses, and healthcare providers. HIPAA refers to these as covered entities or a covered entity. This means a healthcare facility or health plan and all of its employees. If you work in the healthcare field, these regulations likely govern your job and behavior. Therefore, it is not uncommon for healthcare workers to use the acronym HIPAA when they actually mean only the Administrative Simplification Subsection of HIPAA.
Note Covered Entity
HIPAA documents refer to healthcare providers, plans, and clearing-houses as covered entities. In the context of this chapter, think of a covered entity as a healthcare organization and all of its employees.
As someone who will work with patients’ health records, it is especially important for you to understand the regulations regarding privacy and security. However, let us begin with a quick review of HIPAA, then study the privacy and security portions in more depth.
HIPAA implementation and enforcement is under the jurisdiction of several entities within the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). This chapter will make extensive use of documents prepared by HHS.
Administrative Simplification Subsection
The Administrative Simplification Subsection has four distinct components:
1. Transactions and code sets
2. Uniform identifiers
3. Privacy
4. Security
HIPAA Transactions and Code Sets
The first section of the regulations to be implemented governed the electronic transfer of medical information for business purposes such as insurance claims, payme ...

Ethanol (CH3CH2OH), or beverage alcohol, is a two-carbon alcohol
that is rapidly distributed in the body and brain. Ethanol alters many
neurochemical systems and has rewarding and addictive properties. It
is the oldest recreational drug and likely contributes to more morbidity,
mortality, and public health costs than all illicit drugs combined. The
5th edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders
(DSM-5) integrates alcohol abuse and alcohol dependence into a single
disorder called alcohol use disorder (AUD), with mild, moderate,
and severe subclassifications (American Psychiatric Association, 2013).
In the DSM-5, all types of substance abuse and dependence have been
combined into a single substance use disorder (SUD) on a continuum
from mild to severe. A diagnosis of AUD requires that at least two of
the 11 DSM-5 behaviors be present within a 12-month period (mild
AUD: 2–3 criteria; moderate AUD: 4–5 criteria; severe AUD: 6–11 criteria).
The four main behavioral effects of AUD are impaired control over
drinking, negative social consequences, risky use, and altered physiological
effects (tolerance, withdrawal). This chapter presents an overview
of the prevalence and harmful consequences of AUD in the U.S.,
the systemic nature of the disease, neurocircuitry and stages of AUD,
comorbidities, fetal alcohol spectrum disorders, genetic risk factors, and
pharmacotherapies for AUD.

of my office to vigorously enforce
the HIPAA privacy and security
protections, regardless of whether the
information is being held by a health
plan, a health care provider, or one of
their business associates.”2
Leon Rodriguez
Director of HHS Office for Civil Rights
Data breaches risk the medical and financial well-being of your patients (or members if you are a health plan), and the credi-
bility and future business of healthcare organizations.
At the same time, federal and state governments are issuing even more regulations in response to the growing public
concern and eroding public trust over the protected health information (PHI) breach epidemic. The most sweeping of
these regulations is the long-awaited HIPAA Final Omnibus Rule.
Published in the Federal Register on January 25, 2013, by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Office
for Civil Rights (OCR), the HIPAA Final Omnibus Rule reflects landmark legislation that affects nearly every aspect of patient
privacy and data security. It encompasses a number of changes, including:
1. Modification of the HIPAA Privacy, Security, and Enforcement Rules to include HITECH requirements
2. Modification of the Breach Notification Rule
3. Modification of the HIPAA Privacy Rule regarding the Genetic Information Discrimination Act of 2008
4. Additional modifications to the HIPAA Rules
HIPAA covered entities (CEs) must overcome daunting challenges — lack of time, resources, and expertise — to win the
compliance game. With HHS Office for Civil Rights imposing more severe penalties for violations, covered entities need to
take the offensive and plan for victory now. The coaching staff at ID Experts assembled this comprehensive playbook to
guide privacy and information security professionals to compliance. The “plays” we’ve developed encompass all major as-
pects of the Final Rule — HIPAA-HITECH Privacy, Security, and Breach Notification Rules — and how you need to manage
your business associates based on new guidelines.
We’ve chosen these plays to help covered entities with limited time and resources identify key aspects of the Final Rule
and plan for compliance by the September 23, 2013, deadline—and beyond. The checklist below outlines the require-
ments of the Final Rule and the plays you should make to protect your team, avoid penalties, and win the compliance
championship.

HIPAA Final Omnibus Rule Playbook
Offensive Plays — HIPAA Privacy Rule
Use the list of requirements below to strategize your compliance with the HIPAA Privacy Rule.
Background
To help protect against the breach of personal medical information, the Health Insurance Portability and Accountabil-
ity Act (HIPAA), enacted in 1996, set standards for medical privacy that went into effect over the next 10 years. Title
XIII of ARRA, the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health (HITECH) Act, sought to streamline
healthcare and reduce costs through the use of health information technology. It imposed new requirements, in-
cluding extension of the HIPAA Privacy and Security Rules to include business associates, a tiered increase in penal-
ties for violations of these rules, and mandatory audits by HHS. The HIPAA Final Omnibus Rule implements certain
provisions of the HITECH Act to “strengthen” the protections of the Privacy and Security Rules.
HIPAA Privacy Rule
According to HHS, “a major goal of the [HIPAA] Privacy Rule is to assure that individuals’ health information is properly
protected while allowing the flow of health information needed to provide and promote high quality healthcare and
to protect the public’s health and well-being.”3
Training
HHS requires periodic privacy and security training for all employees of healthcare organizations. This is critical,
given that the HCCA/SCCE survey found that the leading source (38 percent) of breach incidents is due to lost
paper files and that the leading source of discovery of these incidents is from non-IT employees. This suggests
that data security and patient privacy issues are closely linked to policies and procedures, and employee training.
Data Breaches: The Everyday
Disaster
According to the Third Annual Bench-
mark Study on Patient Privacy Data
Security by Ponemon Institute, 94% of
healthcare organizations suffered data
breaches, costing the healthcare indus-
try an average of $7 billion a year.

4. “If you handle protected health in-
formation, you may be able to get by
without understanding the details of
health reform, but you cannot survive
in your job if you do not understand
and comply with the HIPAA/HITECH
rules. Anyone involved in the health
care business who does not comply
with these laws is a walking liability.”
James C. Pyles
Principle, Powers, Pylers, Sutter Verville PC
Fundraising
New categories of PHI may be used or disclosed for fundraising, enabling covered entities to better
target fundraising efforts.
Marketing
The Final Rule redefines marketing to include receiving remuneration from a third party for
describing their product or service. CEs must obtain authorization for third-party marketing.
Designated third-party receipt of PHI
Requests must be made in writing, and clearly identify the recipient and where to send the PHI.
Ban on sale of PHI
The Final Rule prohibits, with exceptions, the sale of PHI without authorization. This ban
applies to limited data sets.
Restrictions on disclosure when paid in full
CEs must agree to an individual’s request to restrict disclosure to a health plan if the
individual pays in full for a service or item.
Disclosure of genetic information for underwriting purposes
Health plans may not use or disclose genetic health information for underwriting purposes.

Use and Disclosure of PHI
The Final Rule reiterates the importance that healthcare providers meet stringent requirements for patient privacy
and data security. OCR has aggressively increased its enforcement toward organizations with lax privacy and security,
with stiff penalties for noncompliance. Some of the new requirements favor increased access to PHI, while others
restrict access. Either way, covered entities must update their policies and procedures to reflect the Final Rule’s man-
dates regarding the use and disclosure of PHI.

6. Professional Risk Assessments:
Worth the Investment
An expert risk assessment costs less
than 1% of the average cost of a data
breach. Yet, many healthcare organiza-
tions lack the resources and expertise to
conduct their own risk assessment.

Allow for combined “unconditioned” and “conditioned” authorizations.
Allow for authorizations for future research, with notice, to individuals.
Provide a method for patients to receive electronic copies of electronic PHI.
Electronic Copies of PHI
Patients now have the right to get electronic copies of all of their electronic medical records upon request, rather
than a hard copy, even if the electronic copy is not readily reproducible. Patients can also direct that a designated
third party receive copies.
Research
HHS finalized its proposal to allow a blending of “conditioned” and “unconditioned” authorizations for research into a
single document, where individuals can simply opt-in to the unconditioned authorization.
In addition, one-time authorization may be applied, with notice, for future research. “The language of the authoriza-
tion must adequately inform the individual that the individual’s PHI may be used in future research studies,” says
Adam Greene, a partner at Davis, Wright, and Tremaine, a firm that specializes in privacy and security matters.

7. Perform a HIPAA security compliance assessment.
A HIPAA security compliance assessment evaluates a CE’s regulatory obligations; existing
administrative, technical and physical safeguards; and gaps along with recommendations
for ensuring regulatory compliance and best practices.
Conduct a security risk analysis.
A risk analysis is a prospective and in-depth analysis of the risks to a covered entity’s
information assets involving electronic PHI and recommendations to meet the
requirements of the HIPAA Security Rule — including updated requirements in the Final
Rule. This is also a requirement for meaningful-use attestation by covered entities.

Defensive Plays — HIPAA Security Rule
Use the list of requirements below to strategize your compliance with the HIPAA Security Rule.
Background
According to HHS, “the HIPAA Security Rule establishes national standards to protect individuals’ electronic personal
health information that is created, received, used, or maintained by a covered entity. The Security Rule requires ap-
propriate administrative, physical and technical safeguards to ensure the confidentiality, integrity, and security of
electronic protected health information.”4
Under the Final Rule, business associates are also bound to provisions of the
HIPAA Security Rule.
Assessment of Security Risks
Assess and document risks to PHI relative to regulatory obligations, and develop and implement mitigation strategies
for achieving compliance.
Ensure Your HIPAA Compliance
HIPAA compliance assessments evalu-
ate your regulatory obligations, current
level of compliance, and gaps with re-
spect to HIPAA-HITECH Privacy, Security,
and Breach Notification Rules, as well as
states laws.
Our HIPAA Compliance Assessment
service provides an efficient and credible
evaluation of your compliance gaps, a
priority ranking of your risks, and recom-
mendations for mitigating those risks.
Best practice suggests a HIPAA compli-
ance assessment should be conducted
annually.

8. Mitigation and Action
Take proper steps to mitigate the likelihood and impact of a data breach based on the assessment of your
organization’s security risks.
Develop risk mitigation scope.
Review and prioritize the risks revealed by your risk analysis based on their business impact
and likelihood of occurrence.
Create a mitigation plan.
Develop a risk mitigation plan including prospective schedules for addressing security
vulnerabilities and required budgets and resources.
Update relevant security policies and procedures.
Revisit and update security policies and procedures for these high-risk items.
Evaluate and implement security technologies.
Based on the risk analysis, implement or update safeguards and technologies to protect
PHI. Pay special attention to encrypting PHI in all modes — in motion, at rest, etc. according
to NIST specifications. Doing so provides a safe harbor from data breach notification
requirements in many cases.

Special Team Plays — Breach Notification Rule
Use the list of requirements below to strategize your compliance with the Breach Notification Rule.
Background
Under the interim final rule, a breach crossed the harm threshold if it “pose[d] a significant risk of financial, reputa-
tional, or other harm to the individual.” The HIPAA Final Omnibus Rule removes the harm standard, replacing it with
a new compromise standard. However, the Final Rule does not explicitly define the term “compromise.” Covered
entities must still conduct an incident risk assessment for every data security incident that involves PHI. Rather than
www2.IDExpertsCorp.comwww2.IDExpertsCorp.com
9. determine the risk of harm, however, the risk assessment determines the probability that PHI has been compromised.
The risk assessment must include a minimum of these four factors:
1. The nature and extent of the protected health information involved, including the types of identifiers and the
likelihood of re-identification
2. The unauthorized person who used the protected health information or to whom the disclosure was made
3. Whether the protected health information was actually acquired or viewed
4. The extent to which the risk to the protected health information has been mitigated
If your organization has a security or privacy incident involving PHI, and your risk assessment concludes there was
a very low probability that PHI was compromised, you may choose to not notify the affected individuals or OCR.
However, the Final Rule requires that your organization maintain a burden of proof if your conclusions are called into
question — or demonstrate that one of the existing exceptions to the definition of breach applies.
Policies and Procedures
Update policies and procedures to enable you to:
Detect and escalate a potential breach to your incident response team.
Conduct incident risk assessments per the Final Rule.
Provide supporting documentation to meet your burden of proof, including your incident
risk assessment methodology.

10. Incident Assessment that’s
Final Rule-Compliant
The Final Rule requires that you carry
out an incident risk assessment follow-
ing every PHI privacy or security assess-
ment. At the same time, the Final Rule
removed the controversial “harm stan-
dard” and replaced it with what is being
called the “compromise standard.”

Incident Response Planning Testing
Prepare, document, and test the proper steps for a breach response following a data security or privacy incident that
complies with the new breach definition outlined in the Final Rule.
Incident Risk Assessment
Define and document a method for consistent incident risk assessment using the four factors required by the Final
Rule. Ensure that your method provides the necessary decision support to determine if an incident is a reportable
breach or not and meets your burden of proof obligations under the Final Rule.
Planning
• Update your incident response plan by incorporating your new incident risk assessment
methodology and associated updates to your policies and procedures.
• Identify methods for detecting a breach.
• Determine types of notification based on the level of risk.
• Identify the response team and designate roles and responsibilities.
Testing
• Retrain your incident response team and workforce members on incident reporting protocol.
• Periodically conduct a tabletop or full-scale test and make needed adjustments.

11. Business Associate Plays
Use the list of plays below to ensure compliance with your business associate contracts.
Background
The HIPAA Final Omnibus Rule extends the definition of a business associate as one that “creates, receives, maintains,
or transmits” PHI on behalf of a covered entity. This definition now also encompasses subcontractors that manage PHI
and specific categories of organizations, namely:
• Health information organizations (HIOs)
• E-prescribing gateways
• Patient safety organizations
• Vendors of PHI that provide services on behalf of a covered entity
• Data storage vendors that maintain PHI even if their access to PHI is limited or nonexistent
Covered entities should review their roster of vendors, service providers, and other third parties and enter into con-
tracts (that include the BA Definition Scope Expansion) with these “new” business associates.
In addition, covered entities must enter into a contract with all business associates, but they are not required to enter
into direct contracts with subcontractors of their business associates and other downstream entities. The same chain
of contracts applies. These contracts must specify compliance with the Breach Notification Rule. If a covered entity
designates HIPAA responsibility to a business associate, the contract must also specify that the business associate will
comply with HIPAA regulations.
New Definition of Business Associates
Prepare, document, and test the proper steps for a breach response following a data security or privacy incident that
complies with the new breach definition outlined in the Final Rule.
OCR to Focus on Business
Associates
According to Leon Rodriguez,
Director of HHS Office for Civil
Rights, 63% of those affected by
healthcare data breaches reported
to OCR were a result of a security
breach at a business associate rather
than a covered entity.5
Create new contracts with entities that fit the new definition of a business associate.
