Privacy Enforcement Data
HHS Adds New Enforcement Data to its Web
Site on HIPAA Privacy Compliance and Enforcement
May 9, 2008
In response to continuing interest in HHS enforcement of the HIPAA
Privacy Rule, the Office for Civil Rights today made available to the public
additional information about these activities.
OCR has added a new data section on its Compliance and Enforcement Web
Site. The public can now access enhanced information about several
aspects of OCR’s health information enforcement program:
·
Charts showing state-specific case
investigation results;
·
Calendar-year enforcement-results
graphs and charts;
·
Calendar-year graph showing
complaint receipts;
·
Yearly variation in the issues in
cases resolved through corrective action.
These charts and graphs augment the Web Site’s
comprehensive information about the Privacy Rule, which creates important
federal rights and requirements to protect the privacy of personal health
information.
You may access the new OCR data section at: http://www.hhs.gov/ocr/privacy/enforcement/data.html.
The enhanced Compliance and Enforcement Web Site continues to provide
information for consumers, health care providers, health plans, and others in
the health care industry, and may be found at: http://www.hhs.gov/ocr/privacy/enforcement.
This email is being sent to you from the OCR-Privacy-list listserv, operated by the Office for Civil Rights (OCR) in the US Department of Health and Human Services.
