A coalition of organizations representing clinicians, providers and health care stakeholders, including the ADA, sent a letter Feb. 17 expressing unified opposition to the proposed Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act Security Rule.
The College of Healthcare Information Management Executives also sent a separate letter March 7 that referenced the earlier joint letter. The letter was a regulatory comment submitted to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services via regulations.gov. The organization said that HIPAA Security Rule To Strengthen the Cybersecurity of Electronic Protected Health Information “raises substantial questions of fact, law and policy that warrant careful consideration.”
