Study Notes
HIPAA and Research
- HIPAA enhances protections for health information used in research in addition to the Common Rule and FDA regulations.
- Research activities under HIPAA aim to develop generalizable knowledge, extending beyond clinical trials.
Protected Health Information (PHI)
- PHI is defined as identifiable health information created or held by covered entities and their business associates.
- PHI must be adequately protected when used in research settings to ensure privacy and compliance.
Disclosure Accounting
- When providing information to a data subject regarding HIPAA disclosure accounting, further detail is necessitated for cases involving fewer than 50 records from subjects.
- A "disclosure accounting" is mandatory for all human subjects research that utilizes PHI without prior authorization, with the exception of limited data sets.
HIPAA Authorization Characteristics
- A HIPAA authorization must be written in "plain language" to ensure the data subject fully understands it, similar to informed consent documents.
Retrospective Research Requirements
- Retrospective research, also known as data mining, that involves PHI is classified as research under HIPAA and requires either authorization or fulfillment of waiver criteria.
