Health Information Exchange

 

Understand the Health Information Exchange and recent amendments and legislation that impact the HIE.

Many covered entities and business associates who are required to comply with HIPAA as well as other federal and state law requirements protecting the privacy and security of patient information still misunderstand when and how individually identifiable information may be used and disclosed in the electronic networked HIE context, and including when it must be disclosed. There also continues to be misunderstanding of how and when a breach occurs in the HIE context, who is responsible for it, who needs to be notified and with whom do the legal and contractual obligations rest. This topic helps the persons responsible for their organization’s compliance with HIPAA and other federal and state laws requiring individually identifiable information to be secured and disclosed only as permitted, i.e., under applicable federal and state law exceptions to consent or pursuant to legally-compliant consent forms and processes. The material also explains the specific requirements of such consent forms, including those that have gone into effect as a result of amendments to 42 CFR Part 2. Failing to have compliant and effective policies, procedures and documentation (i.e., consent forms) continues to be a short-coming of many entities connecting to networked HIE initiatives. Noncompliance has resulted in many recent HIPAA enforcement actions taken by the OCR which have led to millions of dollars collected in HIPAA settlement agreements. This topic is critical for organizations to keep abreast of recent legal developments affecting their participation in networked HIE, and ensuring that they are not putting the 'data-sharing cart' before the 'HIE/HIPAA-compliance horse'.
