States strive for model privacy rule to aid health information exchange
EHR Connection, March 10, 2008
An eight-state collaborative is working to ease health information exchange (HIE) data-sharing by developing recommendations to reform state privacy laws, according to an article in the February 24 Government Health IT.
The Harmonizing State Privacy Law Collaborative (HSPLC) aims to produce a demonstration law that states could use as a model as they work toward common goals and solutions, the article says. Member states include Florida, Idaho, Kansas, Kentucky, Michigan, Missouri, New Mexico, and Texas.
HSPLC is a working group under Health Information Security and Privacy Collaboration (HISPC), an HHS project that investigates methods of dealing with privacy and security concerns associated with HIEs, according to the article.
