A Study on the Right for a Patient of medical information in the Constitution

The focus of this thesis is the protection of personal medical information in America. The HIPAA in America is important guide. The HIPAA regulations are transforming how providers and insurers think about the individually identifiable health information they create and receive every minute of every day. The notices and acknowledgments called for by the regulation are also awakening patients and insureds to the path information about them takes as they are cared for and seek payment for that care. The Practical Guide to HIPAA Privacy and Security Compliance is designed to help you understand what HIPAA is about, what it requires, what you can do to work toward compliance, and ho you can maintain compliance on an ongoing basis. We have designed this thesis as the one-stop, "how-to" reference for real-world HIPAA privacy and security advice that you can immediately apply to your organization's unique and specific situation. This thesis describes the HIPAA Privacy and Security Rules and compliance tasks in easy-to-understand language. We do not focus on technical and legal theory and jargon but rather lay out what you actually need to do according to the final HIPAA Privacy and Security Rules to become compliant. HIPAA is very complex. Privacy and security are also very complex. Given that, we do not claim to have coverage in this thesis on every possible topic or nuance related to these subjects. Our goal, though, is to provide you with guidance on the HIPAA requirements and more commonly discussed topics. We also provide you with a number of checklists and other reference materials that will help you got started down the compliance path and point you in the right direction for references and resources when you need them in the future.
