HIPAA: Research

HIPAA sets new standards for how people’s protected health information can be used and disclosed. According to HIPAA, a health care provider like OHSU can use patients’health information in the course of treatment, payment, and operations. Most research falls outside of these areas, and so requires a specific authorization. See the links at left for more information on research, and see the Final Rule Overview for more on the privacy standards.
