Ans) With respect to health information,
- Privacy is defined as the right of an individual to keep his/her individual health information from being disclosed. This is typically achieved through policy and procedure.
- Privacy encompasses controlling who is authorized to access patient information; and under what conditions patient information may be accessed, used and/or disclosed to a third party. The HIPAA Privacy Rule applies to all protected health information.
- Security is defined as the mechanism in place to protect the privacy of health information. This includes the ability to control access to patient information, as well as to safeguard patient information from unauthorized disclosure, alteration, loss or destruction. Security is typically accomplished through operational and technical controls within a covered entity. Since so much PHI is now stored and/or transmitted by computer systems, the HIPAA Security Rule was created to specifically address electronic protected health information.
- Compliance means meeting or exceeding the standards set for legal, ethical and professional operation of healthcare facilities. All providers handling electronic protected health information (ePHI), including EHRs, are required to comply by putting appropriate processes, policies and procedures in place.
- HIPAA is the acronym of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996. The main purpose of this federal statute was to help consumers maintain their insurance coverage, but it also includes a separate set of provisions called Administrative Simplification.
- The original intent of HIPAA was to help ensure the continuation of health insurance coverage when an individual left his or her job.
- HIPAA created a system to recognize and enforce the rights of patients to protect the privacy of their medical records.
