HIPAA
Guidelines and Forms for Research
The
Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA)
included provisions to protect the privacy of individually identifiable
health information and established the conditions under which covered
entities might release such information for research purposes. The
new regulations went into effect as of Monday, April 14, 2003. For
researchers who currently obtain protected health information (PHI)
from a covered entity, and for those investigators who in the future
may wish to obtain PHI as part of their research or to pre-screen
potential research subjects, the requirements imposed by HIPAA will
change how you conduct your research. The guidelines provided in
the following document are designed to assist researchers affected
by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996
(HIPAA) which is commonly referred to as the Privacy Act.
