Test yourself: Which of these is least likely to be on your mind during a HIPAA implementation meeting?
A. How will we further restrict access to information stored on our network?
B. How can we tighten operational processes to further restrict access to patient information?

A modest proposal: Post on the wall at every HIPAA meeting:
There is always a tradeoff between making a system more secure and making a system more accessibleAs security increases, accessibility decreasesBalancing these concerns will be one of the most challenging elements as we implement HIPAAConsumers (at least those who can afford it) will get what they want with or without usIf they judge our decisions too restrictive, they can opt out of the system (next slide)

Of course!
By asking patients, clinicians, referring physicians, educators, and others what information they need, you can anticipate and provide the services they want so they will not “virtually abandon” your organization.If you know what your population wants, and understand your current Information Systems (and Internet technologies), you can provide information access with better security and meet and exceed HIPAA requirements.The Web infrastructure you build can be leveraged in many other ways by your organization and your patients. A few examples . . .

What’s next?
•As consumer awareness of HIPAA increases, use our compliance to reassure patients & families and differentiate ourselves in the marketplace.
•Keep ahead of technology, regulations, and consumer demands.
•Remember the old Danish proverb:
“Prediction is difficult, especially of the
future.”
Thanks so much!
