    Overview:

    While the worldwide pandemic has prompted some relaxation of HIPAA requirements in specific circumstances to ease provision of medical services while preserving social distancing requirements and addressing emergency vaccination needs, enforcement of HIPAA has continued.

    HHS OCR has focused heavily on compliance with the HIPAA rules on individual access of information, with approximately one enforcement settlement per month since September of 2019, and the new Information Blocking rules provide a fresh impetus for HHS to keep up the pressure. At the same time, enforcement actions continue for other violations, such as systemic noncompliance, lack of security risk analysis, and improperly addressed business relationships between affiliated entities.

    Recent enforcement actions show a willingness for HHS to work in conjunction with State Attorneys General to bring about settlements for violations of several laws at once, a new emphasis on the importance of prompt action on requests for individual access of Protected Health Information (PHI), and a new crack-down on doctors’ responding to patients’ social media posts and including PHI in the posting.
