Title: HIPAA Privacy: Changes To Support, and Remove Barriers to, Coordinated Care and Individual Engagement | |
Abstract:
This proposed rule would seek comment on proposals to modify provisions of the HIPAA Rules that may impede the transformation of the health care system to value-based health care, by limiting or discouraging care coordination and case management (including care coordination challenges arising from the opioid crisis) among hospitals, physicians (and other providers), payors, and patients. The proposals would decrease unnecessary compliance burdens, while continuing to protect the privacy and security of individuals’ protected health information (PHI). The proposed modifications also would support (and remove barriers to) the engagement of individuals with the healthcare system by strengthening individuals’ ability to access their PHI. |
