For all health care organizations, managers and key personnel, the confidentiality of medical records has become a critically important management issue. With HIPAA and/or the final regulations, the responsibility for increased security and sensitivity in the maintenance and transmission of health information will be monumentally greater. The new rules require entities that maintain and transmit health information electronically in order to:
- provide reasonable and appropriate safeguards to protect the integrity and confidentiality of health care information
- train personnel to protect confidentiality of health care information
- write over 30 policies and procedures on security and confidentiality protective measures
