Privacy Rule Compliance Guide

The Privacy Rule Compliance Guide provides instructions for healthcare organizations to protect patients' sensitive health information. It ensures that personal health data is kept confidential, shared only with authorized individuals, and used appropriately. The guide outlines how to implement policies, secure records, and handle disclosures in accordance with legal standards like the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA). Its goal is to help organizations respect patient privacy rights while allowing necessary healthcare communication and billing processes, fostering trust and reducing the risk of privacy breaches.
