Federal HIPAA & Health Privacy Laws, Rules, & Regulatory Guidance.

Federal health privacy and data protection requirements address the collection, use, disclosure, security, and protection of certain health information. Depending on the organization and the information involved, requirements may arise under HIPAA, the HITECH Act, the Health Breach Notification Rule, and other federal laws and regulations.

Federal statutes, regulations, and agency guidance address areas such as protected health information, privacy and security safeguards, covered entities and business associates, breach notification, marketing uses of health information, and health-related technologies and applications.

Use these resources to research federal health privacy requirements, review regulatory guidance, and identify health privacy, security, and breach-notification issues that may warrant additional compliance analysis.
