HIPAA Privacy Myths - Perceived versus Real Barriers to Health Information Exchange

The HIPAA Privacy, now modified by the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health (HITECH) Act, spells out how patients and health plan members’ medical and claims information can be used and disclosed with and without authorization. It addresses what covered entities and business associates are required to do to comply with federal privacy requirements and it spells out individuals’ privacy rights. The question remains do covered entities and business associates really know what is mandated and are workforce members actually trained.

HIPAA myths date back to the first of several administrative simplification rules. Now HITECH myths also abound. It is true the Office for Civil Rights (OCR) is not enforcing a number of the privacy and security provisions of HITECH but that does not mean it is to be ignored or wait to comply after all HITECH rules have been finalized.
