Committee readies recommendations to extend broad health privacy protections
www.fcw.com The National Committee on Vital and Health Statistics is considering recommending extending the applicability of the federal rules that protect the privacy of individuals’ medical records.
The committee, which advises the Health and Human Services Department, issued a draft report full of recommendations on how medical records are used for purposes other than treating patients, such as for research and monitoring the quality of care.
NCVHS drafted the report, “Enhanced Protections for Uses of Health Data: A Stewardship Framework for ‘Secondary Uses’ of Electronically Collected and Transmitted Health Data,” in response to a request from the Office of the National Coordinator of Health Information Technology.
