HIPAA and PIPEDA Compliancy

(HEALTH INSURANCE PORTABILITY AND ACCOUNTABILITY ACT OF 1996 and Canada's Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act)

The applicable HIPAA rules of concern to the HRST-PSR are:

1. In Title II, Administrative Simplification, HIPAA endeavors to minimize the amount of paperwork and human intervention; and

2. In Title V, The Standards for Privacy of Individually Identifiable Health Information are imposed to help guarantee privacy and confidentiality of patient medical records.

In the area of Title II, the HRST-PSR will definitely simplify and reduce paperwork via the HRST computer database and extensive HRST reporting capabilities.

In the area of Title V, 45 CFR Parts 160, 162, and 164, Health Insurance Reform: Security Standards; Final Rule, published 02/20/2003, the HRST-PSR is HIPAA compliant in that:

The HRST program is multi-level, password protected,

The HRST database is encrypted programmatically and uses database passwords,

The HRST files that can be output via floppy or electronic transmissions are encrypted,

And the HRST reports that contain consumer names or social security numbers can be designated to produce gibberish for those items. This allows a user to produce HRST reports that can be given to another agency, for instance, which will have all the HRST statistical data, but no discernible personal HRST data.

Canada's Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act pertains to the same protections for personal data but also requires the collecting agency to:

•  

  Get an individual's consent to collect, use and disclose his personal information

•  

  Disclose the purpose for which information is being collected at the time of collection

•  

  Ensure that personal information isn't used for any reason other than the stated purpose

•  

  Ensure that personal information is retained for only as long as necessary to fulfill the reason for its collection

•  

  Get an individual's consent to collect, use and disclose his personal information

•  

  Disclose the purpose for which information is being collected at the time of collection

•  

  Ensure that personal information isn't used for any reason other than the stated purpose

•  

  Ensure that personal information is retained for only as long as necessary to fulfill the reason for its collection

•  

  Implement security measures to protect personal data

•  

  Refrain from sharing an individual's personal information without his prior consent.
