It’s true! According to Deven McGraw, director of the health privacy project at the Center for Democracy and Technology according to her prepared testimony for the House Science and Technology subcommittee on technology and innovation. “There is value to making data that has a very low risk of re-identification available for a broad range of purposes, as long as the standards for de-identification are rigorous, and there are sufficient prohibitions against re-identification. Neither condition is present today,” said McGraw. Read the full FierceGovernmentIT article.

New Constraints on Personally Identifiable Information

michael.matteson — Thu, 17 Jun 2010 16:28:31 +0000

The Substance Abuse & Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) and the Office of the National Coordinator (ONC) for Health Information Technology announced yesterday the release of the Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) for Applying the Substance Abuse Confidentiality Regulations to the Health Information Exchange (HIE).

The Substance Abuse Confidentiality Regulations, 42 CFR Part 2, govern the use and disclosure of alcohol and drug abuse patient records that are maintained at federally funded substance abuse programs. Both SAMHSA and ONC want to ensure that our constituents receive every tool and resource possible to allow a more complete understanding of these Federal regulations, which were enacted in 1972 and 1975. The FAQs outline the general provisions of 42 CFR Part 2, provide guidance on its application to electronic health records, and identify methods for including substance abuse patient record information into health information exchange that is consistent with the Federal statute.

The FAQs will serve as a valuable resource to a variety of individuals, including specialty and medical providers, as well as HIE technical developers and policymakers. The FAQs are not meant to provide legal advice.

Both SAMHSA and ONC are committed to adhering to the Federal protections of 42 CFR Part 2 and recognize the importance of promoting behavioral health in electronic health records. A meeting is being planned for August 4, from 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. to provide those interested an opportunity to provide input on the utility of the FAQs.
