Under HIPAA, which act further expanded the need for healthcare providers to ensure the security and privacy of electronic health information, emphasizing the use of electronic health records and increased the penalties for health privacy and security violations?
Patient Care Partnership
Patient Self Determination Act (PSDA)
Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act of 2008 (GINA)
Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act (HITECH)
The Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act (HITECH) was enacted as part of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009. It is particularly significant because it strengthens the enforcement of HIPAA by promoting the adoption of electronic health record systems and increasing penalties for HIPAA security and privacy violations. The other acts listed are not related to the specific expansion of HIPAA concerning electronic health records and privacy/security enhancements.
