SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR ELECTRONICALLY ACCESSING AND TRANSMITTING HEALTH INSURANCE PORTABILITY AND ACCOUNTABILITY ACT (HIPAA) COMPLIANT DATA

摘要

Systems and methods for electronically transmitting and accessing Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) compliant data are provided. The HIPAA compliant data are transmitted to a patient via a mobile device in the form of an alert that provides the patient with reminders to take medications. To maintain the privacy of the patient, the specific drug names of the medications are replaced by a generic reference or identifier to comply with the provisions of HIPAA. Systems and methods for providing and authorizing access to a third party to receive and/or review PHI and/or EPHI of a patient via a social network website are also provided. To grant access, the patient executes a HIPAA release form and the third party is added to a list of third parties allowed to receive and access HIPAA compliant data via a social network website.
