Medical Records and Patient Information Distribution Protect your patients and your organization by confidently and legally responding to requests for patient information 1-Hour CD-ROM — Now Available! The ever-growing number of state and federal laws concerning security and privacy rights for patients continues to increase the difficulty of maintaining legal compliance. Medical organizations must continually manage and update their policies, and adhere to patients' privacy rights at all times. Given the inherent challenge of understanding your rights and responsibilities as a medical provider for protecting confidential patient information, are you confident that you can legally respond to requests for information from a variety of sources? In 1996, Congress passed the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA). HIPAA protects insurance coverage for workers and their families during job change or loss, and it created several programs to control fraud and abuse within the healthcare system. Because privacy legislation was not initially part of the Act, the Health and Human Services developed the Privacy Rule to further protect patients' rights. The Privacy Rule took effect in 2003, and it now regulates the use and disclosure of specified medical information. The purpose of the HIPAA Privacy Rule is to define and limit the circumstances in which a person's protected health information may be used or disclosed by covered entities. As a healthcare provider, you must have a working knowledge of what information is protected under HIPAA and what patient information can be revealed to whom. If you're not fully confident that you and other members of your organization who deal with medical records and patient information are familiar with HIPAA, the Privacy Rule, and the policies you have in place to protect your patients, this one-hour webinar is essential training you should enroll in today!
