About HIPAA Analytics

---

HIPAA Analytics, LLC provides HIPAA privacy and security  compliance services that focus on Small and Midsize Business (SMB) healthcare  organizations and their business associates. HIPAA Analytics roots date back to the roll out of the Health Insurance Portability and  Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA). During that time, Grant Peterson*, founder of HIPAA Analytics, began providing regulatory research,  analysis, and assistance in the adoption of HIPAA privacy and security  regulations to the healthcare industry. Over the past 18 years HIPAA Analytics has continued its regulatory focus on SMB healthcare related  organizations nationwide.  HIPAA Analytics is committed to the industry it serves, by partnering to improve compliance process and provide objective, independent evaluations, to reduce risk and  enhance operations.      *Grant holds a Bachelor of Science Degree in Public Administration and Juris Doctorate, J.D.

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS)*  today finalized two transformative rules that will give patients  unprecedented safe, secure access to their health data. Interoperability  has been pursued by multiple administrations and numerous laws, and  today, these rules finally deliver on giving patients true access to  their healthcare data to make informed healthcare decisions and better  manage their care. Putting patients in charge of their health records is  a key piece of giving patients more control in healthcare, and patient  control is at the center of the Trump administration’s work toward a  value-based healthcare system.

The two rules, issued by the HHS Office of the National  Coordinator for Health Information Technology (ONC) and Centers for  Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), implement interoperability and  patient access provisions of the bipartisan 21st Century Cures Act  (Cures Act) and support "MyHealthEData" initiative. MyHealthEData is designed to empower patients around a common aim -  giving every American access to their medical information so they can  make better healthcare decisions.

Together, these final rules mark the most extensive  healthcare data sharing policies the federal government has implemented,  requiring both public and private entities to share health information  between patients and other parties while keeping that information  private and secure, a top priority for the Administration.
