HIPAA (the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996) is widely misunderstood by many providers and the public. I'm sure most of the public thought the "p" stood for privacy. And try calling an ICU or a hospital when a loved one is admitted with a question - even if you are the designated caregiver. The Department of Health and Human Services which overseas HIPAA did impose a Privacy Rule to cover the use and sharing of individuals health records. Have you ever read the Privacy Policy at your doctor's office? They are required to provide it under HIPAA. You do not have to agree to share your data with their Business Affiliates or anyone else for Marketing Purposes. But have you ever tried to opt out? It's almost impossible. Suffice it to say, that the #privacy and #security components that were supposed to be part of the HIPAA regime have lagged at best. Been totally misapplied at worst. Does the UnitedHealthcare databreach ring a bell? Well, on December 30th the HHS finally proposed an overhaul of the security rule making to strengthen the requirements. Encryption and Passwords will be required under the proposed rule rather than merely "addressable" (optional). The proposal will be the first change in the security rules in 11 years. The proposal will be published on January 6,2025 and will be open for comment until March 7, 2025. https://lnkd.in/erdNHTni https://lnkd.in/gWKi6GKb
