Title: Modernization of Confidentiality of Patient Records to Account for Health Information Technology 
Abstract:

The NRPM amends 42 CFR part 2 to update the regulations for the modern health care context with respect to health information technology and new health care models. The intention of the proposed regulation would be to facilitate the inclusion of clinical information from programs and activities covered by 42 CFR part 2 and related data in the modern health care infrastructure while maintaining or strengthening appropriate patient privacy protections.  The revisions to the regulations would remain consistent with 42 USC 290dd-2.
