discuss 3 major impacts of the HIPPA Privacy, Security, and Breach notification rules
Ans) Broadly speaking, the HIPAA Security Rule requires implementation of three types of safeguards: 1) administrative, 2) physical, and 3) technical. In addition, it imposes other organizational requirements and a need to document processes analogous to the HIPAA Privacy Rule.
- The Security Rule protects a subset of information covered by the Privacy Rule, which is all individually identifiable health information a covered entity creates, receives, maintains or transmits in electronic form. The Security Rule calls this information “electronic protected health information” (e-PHI).
- Common violations include:
● Impermissible PHI use and disclosure
● Use or disclosure of more than the minimum necessary PHI
● Lack of PHI safeguards
● Lack of administrative, technical, or physical ePHI
safeguards
● Lack of individuals’ access to their PHI
