HHS launches new Web site on HIPAA privacy

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) launched an enhanced Web site to make it easier for consumers, healthcare providers, and others to get information about how the HHS enforces health information privacy rights and standards.

The new Web site coincides with the fourth anniversary of the enforcement of the HIPAA Privacy Rule.

The Web site provides comprehensive information about the

Privacy Rule, which creates important federal rights and requirements to protect the privacy of personal health information. The enhanced Web site, www.hhs.gov/ocr/privacy/enforcement, provides information for consumers, healthcare providers, health plans, and others in the health care industry about HHS’s compliance and enforcement efforts.
