February 2009
|
President Obama signed into law the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA), designed to spur the national economy. Two provisions of the legislation have a direct impact on health information and HIPAA.
First, ARRA enacts strict time limits for adopting Electronic Health Records (EHR), and provides $19.2 billion in funding towards this goal. By 2015, healthcare providers must show meaningful use of electronic records or be subject to lower Medicare and Medicaid reimbursement payments. Second, ARRA includes the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health (HITECH) Act, which expands existing requirements to protect the privacy and security of health information, as well as other provisions related to health information technology.
The legislation is extensive and detailed, and should be studied at length
by appropriate healthcare professionals. This section explains the major highlights of the rules and how they have changed.
