Protected Health Information (PHI), Privacy, Security, and Confidentiality Best Practice
se
In 1996, the Health care coverage Movability and Responsibility Act (HIPAA), a government
regulation, was sanctioned to give people freedoms and securities concerning their wellbeing
ng
data (Places for Infectious prevention and Counteraction [CDC], 2018). It frames rules for the
suitable use and revelation of safeguarded wellbeing data (PHI) by organizations managing
i
wellbeing information. Any information connecting with a singular's current, past, or future
rit
physical or psychological wellness, acquired or produced by medical care suppliers, wellbeing

plans, general wellbeing specialists, businesses, or other medical care specialist co-ops, is viewed
W
as safeguarded wellbeing data (HIPAA, 2018). Instances of such information incorporate names,
Government backed retirement numbers, birth dates, addresses, account numbers, clinical
se
subtleties, and determinations.

The HIPAA Security Rule presents public prerequisites to shield electronic PHI (ePHI)
(Gatehouse, 2020). It commands that covered substances execute fundamental measures to
forestall unapproved access, abuse, or exposure of ePHI. In the event that unprotected PHI is
compromised, covered substances are committed under the HIPAA Break Notice Rule to
illuminate the impacted people (Heath et al., 2021). Besides, covered elements are expected to
tell the Branch of Wellbeing and Human Administrations (HHS) and, in unambiguous cases, the
media, according to the Standard. The HIPAA Requirement Rule frames the strategies HHS
should adhere to explore and punish associations abusing HIPAA Guidelines. This incorporates
m
forcing sanctions for resistance, for example, common financial fines, restorative activity plans,
and expected legitimate activities (Moore and Frye, 2019).

s.
The previously mentioned guidelines give a hearty groundwork to multidisciplinary groups to
protect the security of delicate electronic wellbeing data. These regulations require that covered
ce
substances execute sensible and fundamental protections to forestall unapproved access, use, or
exposure of ePHI. They additionally frame processes for HHS to make a legitimate move against
i
substances penetrating HIPAA Rules and guarantee people have command over their PHI.
rv
The Significance of Interdisciplinary Collaboration
se
Interdisciplinary collaboration is vital for securing sensitive electronic health information (ePHI)
ng
as it allows various stakeholders to work together to ensure patient data security and compliance
with data privacy and security laws. By leveraging knowledge from various disciplines,
organizations can better comprehend the risks associated with managing ePHI and devise
i
rit
measures to secure it (Beckmann et al., 2021).

W
For instance, an interdisciplinary team of specialists might include a privacy officer, IT staff,
legal counsel, and a health information management specialist. This team can aid a healthcare
se
company in formulating policies and procedures to safeguard ePHI, such as implementing

appropriate access controls and encryption to ensure that only authorized individuals have access
to the data. Additionally, the team can assist the company in devising a response plan in case of a
ur
data breach (Beckmann et al., 2021).

Evidence-Based Approaches to Mitigate Risks for Patients and Healthcare Staff
Call Us Now (612) 234-7670
To minimize risks for patients and healthcare staff while utilizing social media containing
sensitive electronic health information, several strategies can be implemented (Health, 2022):
● Develop a social media policy outlining guidelines for interacting with patients on social
media and restrictions on sharing private information.
● Utilize secure communications, ensuring that the services used are HIPAA compliant and
encrypted to guarantee data safety.
● Educate employees on the risks of social media usage and the importance of safeguarding
m
private electronic health records.
● Monitor social media accounts for improper information and ensure staff members
co
comply with the rules and regulations.
● Limit access to sensitive electronic health information to only those individuals who need
it to perform their duties.
s.
● Employ authentication procedures to verify the identity of anyone accessing sensitive
data.
ce
● Establish auditing and monitoring mechanisms to detect any unauthorized access or
attempted access to sensitive information.
i
rv
● Stay updated with the latest best practices for safeguarding private electronic health
information.
se
Effective Staff Training for Interprofessional Teams
ng
As healthcare providers, it is our responsibility to ensure the security, privacy, and confidentiality
of patient data, especially when using social media. Adhering to the strictest standards of patient
confidentiality, medical practitioners using social media should follow these rules (Arigo et al.,
i
rit
2018):
W
● Avoid engaging in speculation or criticism of a patient on social media.

● Refrain from disclosing information about a patient’s health or treatment on social media.
se
● Never publish any patient-identifying information on social media, including images.

● Do not use social media to request or receive patient information.
● Avoid disclosing any patient data or confidential information to individuals outside the
ur
healthcare team.
