Fast Facts and Myth Busters, two new product series from Health Information & the Law, promise to deliver quick and easily digestible content on key topics related to the use and exchange of health information and the evolving landscape of health system transformation.
These resources offer insights into federal and state laws and regulations that govern health information, including implications for health care delivery, payment and beyond. New pieces currently available at HealthInfoLaw.org include:
- Fast Facts: What types of data do public health agencies collect?
- Myth Buster: MYTH: Public Health Data Exception to HIPAA
- Fast Facts: How is Data Collected & Used in a Health Insurance Marketplace?
- Myth Buster: MYTH: Patients May Sue Providers for Disclosing PHI In Violation of HIPAA
This library of resources will continue to grow over time and will include Fast Facts and Myth Busters on topics such as privacy and confidentiality, health information technology, HIPAA, public health data, health insurance marketplaces, and security. These new product series augment existing resources available on HealthInfoLaw.org including summaries of federal and state laws and regulations governing health information as well as in-depth analyses, comparative state maps, and decision tools.
