There has been a lot of medical information leakage that has happened in the United States, and that is why the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) was accepted by Congress. The main purpose of this Act is to give necessary protection to patientsīŋŊ information about their medical condition. Aside from the said protection, patients and clients of insurance companies can easily have their medical information readily available for them to go over. Another benefit of HIPAA is that one can make any update or correction to his or her personal information anytime.
Not all health care workers are fully aware of the latest HIPAA info. That is why HIPAA training courses are mandated to health care providers and insurance company employees and employers. Here are the right ways to properly disseminate HIPAA information to the public.
īŋŊ Convey to the public that all patients are entitled to read, know, learn and review their own personal medical information for (or within) a period of 30 days upon their request. Should there be any changes or alterations needed, it is allowed by the law as long as it is done to the patientīŋŊs personal record. Only the patient and the health care staff members are permitted to have admittance to the patientīŋŊs records.
īŋŊ Make it known to any patient that he or she will be able to receive notice from HIPAA notifying them of their right to know their medical condition. In addition to that, they also have the right to understand how health care provider employees will utilize their documents. It should also be mentioned in the notice the name of the individuals permitted to access the patientīŋŊs medical record.
īŋŊ The patients should also know that all their medical data and records will be kept confidential and will not be shared with any insurance company, individual or institution without their permission. Everything will just be between the medical professional and the patient, and no information should leak to the public. No institution or individual will be able to use the patientīŋŊs medical records for their own gains like promoting certain medications.
īŋŊ There are health conditions that are somewhat sensitive that must stay private. Only the patient and the health care professional can know all the information particularly in chronic or delicate cases. Even messages sent through emails or via voice mails are not allowed for the patientsīŋŊ protection.
Any employee of insurance companies, health care providers or any individual that is proven guilty of wrongly sharing any medical record of a patient will receive a penalty according to their violation. The punishment varies according to whether the violation has been committed intentionally or accidentally.
To further increase everyoneīŋŊs information regarding HIPAA, various seminars are provided by the government and health care providers disseminating the information needed. You may also check popular online HIPAA training website pages for course schedules. Everybody is entitled to medical data privacy. Learn more and see how this affects your business, workers, clients and self. And find out more about HIPAA and its other features and benefits that are offered.
