What Are the Considerations for Texting and Emailing With Patients

 

Learn why it is important to manage access of records properly.

The HIPAA Security Rule requires consideration of encryption of all communications as an addressable implementation specification. HIPAA Privacy Rule §164.522 and §164.524 give patients rights of communication preferences and access of information. This makes patients happy and makes HHS happy. So how are organizations allowed to communicate with patients? Do what the patient or their representative wants as long as you are meeting HIPAA requirements, accommodating what you reasonably can, and meeting the patient’s needs. This video reviews why professional communications of personal health information must be protected and discusses why communication with patients requires flexibility.
