隐私惯例

2003年4月1日生效2015年2月26日修订

The Health Insurance Portability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) protects the confidentiality of medical records and other personal health information.  The rule limits the use and release of individually identifiable health information; gives patients the right to access their medical records; restricts most disclosures of health information to the minimum needed for the intended purpose; and establishes safeguards and restriction regarding the disclosure of records for certain public responsibilities, 比如公共卫生, 研究及执法. Improper uses or disclosures under the rule are subject to criminal and civil sanctions prescribed in HIPAA.
