Health Privacy and HIPAA

Privacy Daily follows regulatory changes to and enforcement of the federal Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA). The law governs how health care providers, insurers and other covered entities handle protected health information and imposes safeguards to prevent unauthorized access or disclosure. We also track new health privacy laws in the states including the Washington My Health My Data Act and a similar bill passed in New York state. Coverage includes significant HIPAA violations, enforcement actions and trends that shape how health data is collected, shared and secured.

Search Primer

Multi-word term: Place inside quotes to ensure an exact match together (e.g. "China import").

Term list: Separate terms with spaces, not commas or semicolons to find either word (e.g. AD/CVD antidumping).

Acronyms: Use all capital letters (e.g., ACE).

Required term: If a term must be included in any resulting articles, prefix it with a plus sign (e.g., CBP +releases).

Excluded term: If a term should be excluded from any articles being found, prefix it with a minus sign (e.g., -ruling).

Singular form: Use the singular form when doing multi-word terms (e.g. "russian export control" instead of "russian export controls").

Shortest word form: When you have different word forms in a quoted term, include the shortest version if it is the last part of the expression (e.g., "entity list" instead of "entity listing" or "entity listed").
