Chapter 9 - Data Privacy and Confidentiality Flashcards
use vs disclosure
Use is how a healthcare organization avails itself of health information internally, such as a nurse reviewing a patient’s health record.
Disclosure is how health information is disseminated outside a healthcare organization. An example of disclosure is providing patient information to an insurance company.

consent vs authorization
The Privacy Rule permits, but does not require, a covered entity voluntarily to obtain patient CONSENT for uses and disclosures of protected health information for treatment, payment, and health care operations. Covered entities that do so have complete discretion to design a process that best suits their needs.
By contrast, an “authorization” is required by the Privacy Rule for uses and disclosures of protected health information not otherwise allowed by the Rule. Where the Privacy Rule requires patient authorization, voluntary consent is not sufficient to permit a use or disclosure of protected health information unless it also satisfies the requirements of a valid authorization.
authorization (HIPAA document)
a detailed document that gives covered entities permission to use protected health information for specified purposes, which are generally other than treatment, payment, or health care operations, or to disclose protected health information to a third party specified by the individual
sale of information (HIPAA law)
A law that states:
A CE or BA is prohibited from selling (receiving direct or indirect compensation in exchange for) an individual’s PHI without that individual’s authorization.
