    Further Considerations: Conclusion

    Uploaded by

    John Philip De Guzman
    While privacy laws around personal health information are still developing, the rise of electronic health records sharing increases litigation risks. Healthcare providers should create confidentiality policies for patient information and ensure contracts with payors don't disclaim liability for improper data disclosure breaches. Providers should also require payors to maintain privacy and seek indemnification for losses from confidentiality failures.

    Further Considerations
    In short, while the right of privacy with respect to personal health information is an
    unsettled and evolving area of law, with the rapid increase in the electronic transmission of
    such information, this is certainly an area ripe for litigation and resulting liability.
    Health care providers should consider establishing and following written policies pertaining
    to maintaining the confidentiality of their patients' personal health information. In addition,
    providers should closely analyze their contracts with third party payors, since many of these
    contracts disclaim liability for damages resulting from improper disclosure of personal
    health information. These contracts should require payors to maintain the confidentiality of
    health care information. Providers should also seek indemnification for losses attributable
    to breaches of the confidentiality provisions.

    It is imperative then, that the confidentiality of such information be maintained to


    guarantee that the personnel’s request and demand are not unduly attained.
