HIPAA Omnibus: Gaps In Privacy?

Posted on March 6, 2013 by Dissent

Although the HIPAA Omnibus Rule is a step in the right direction for protecting health information, the regulation still leaves large privacy gaps, says patient advocate Deborah Peel, M.D.

“HIPAA Omnibus finally affirmed that states can pass laws that are tougher than HIPAA, and that’s really good news because HIPAA is so full of flaws and defects that we are concerned that what is being built and funded will not be trusted by the pubic,” Peel says in an interview with HealthcareInfoSecurity during the 2013 HIMSS Conference.
