ConclusionWell-established principles of privacy and fair information practice have existed for some time. However, there has been no comprehensive federal privacy standard for the protection of patient health information.
HIPAA provides a first step towards a national standard. While HIPAA rules may be complex, many health practitioners and organizations recognize that protecting consumer privacy is just good business practice- a lesson learned by other industries such as the financial services industry. On the cutting edge of health information privacy, security, and confidentiality issues is the practice of telemedicine. The telehealth industry’s reliance on store and forward electronic transactions and live, interactive video conferencing, as well as, Internet exchanges raises many new practical issues in protecting individual privacy and dignity in providing health care. |
