Non-nominal HIV surveillance: preserving privacy while tracking an epidemic.

OBJECTIVE: To enhance HIV surveillance within a non-nominal provincial testing system. METHODS: Confirmatory HIV tests from a provincial laboratory were analyzed during 1995 and 1996. Enhancements included elimination of repeat positive tests for the same individual using automated matching of non-nominal identifiers and nurse call-back of health care providers, completion of missing information through call-back and connection of providers with resources for patient care. RESULTS: Forty-seven percent of 2,683 reactive HIV tests were identified as duplicates for the same individual, meaning that 1,401 people tested positive for the first time. From laboratory test data to enhanced unduplicated data after call-back, the proportion of tests for which risk and ethnic information was unknown dropped from 37% to 11% and from 64% to 18% respectively (p < 0.0001). CONCLUSIONS: Enhanced non-nominal surveillance for HIV is a practical means of marrying the needs of public health for epidemiological information and the rights of patients to privacy.

HIPAA Creating privacy protection that works.

All health care providers, clearinghouses, and health plans that transmit health information electronically in connection with a standard transaction (e.g., claims, coordinating benefits, payment and remittance advice, claims status, etc.) are subject to compliance under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA). The effective date of the regulations was April 14, 2001, and all health providers must be in full compliance by April 2003. It is extremely important that you and your organization understand HIPPA and the final privacy rule and begin working toward compliance now.

Final HIPAA privacy rules: "How do we get started?".

This article provides a general overview of the HIPAA privacy standards established by the Final Rules. It also discusses organizational approaches health care providers, more specifically hospitals and health systems, can use to "get started" with their HIPAA compliance effort. It also explores the corresponding human and financial resources that such providers will need to develop and implement the program. While the needs and approaches identified and discussed in this article may also apply to some extent to Covered Entities other than health care providers, this article does not specifically address those considerations in the context of health plans (including employer-sponsored plans), health care clearinghouses, or retail pharmacies.
