The document also discusses the penalties for violating HIPAA and provides tips for nurses to protect patient confidentiality in their daily work.
HIPAA Privacy & Security
The document discusses the requirements of HIPAA for protecting patient privacy and securing their health information, including mandates for training and documentation, increased penalties for violations, and rights for patients to access electronic health records; it also outlines the entities covered by HIPAA, defines protected health information, and reviews standards for its use and disclosure for treatment, payment, and healthcare operations.
Chapter 9
The document discusses the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health (HITECH) Act of 2009 and how it enhances security and privacy protections under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) of 1996. The HITECH Act established the Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology to develop a nationwide health information technology infrastructure. It provides monetary incentives for implementing electronic health records systems and penalties for failing to adopt such systems. The HITECH Act also strengthened HIPAA's enforcement and expanded its scope to business associates of covered entities. This has implications for nursing practice, including involvement in health IT and protecting patient privacy.

What is HIPAA
- 1. What is HIPAA The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (“HHS”) issued the Privacy Rule to implement the requirement of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (“HIPAA”).1 The Privacy Rule standards address the use and disclosure of individuals’ health information—called “protected health information” by organizations subject to the Privacy Rule — called “covered entities,” as well as standards for individuals' privacy rights to understand and control how their health information is used.
- 2. The HIPPA Privacy Rule The rule creates national standards to protect individual medical records and other personal health information. The rule: • * Gives patients more control over their health information. • * Sets boundaries on the use and release of health records.
- 3. HIPPA Rules Continued • * Establishes appropriate safeguards that health care providers and others must achieve to protect the privacy of health information. • * Holds violators accountable with civil and criminal penalties that can be imposed if they violate patient's privacy rights. • * Takes into account public responsibility to disclose some forms of data to protect public health.
- 4. Who enforce HIPAA Rules The Office for Civil Rights enforces the HIPAA Privacy Rule, which protects the privacy of individually identifiable health information; the HIPAA Security Rule, which sets national standards for the security of electronic protected health information; and the confidentiality provisions of the Patient Safety Rule, which protect identifiable information being used to analyze patient safety events and improve patient safety.
- 5. Complaints by Calendar Year
- 6. Reducing HIPAA Complaints The most effective way to reduce HIPAA complaints is to educate employee’s of the HIPAA laws and the effect they can have on the organization as well as the individual.
