HIPAA 5010: “You can’t sit back and wait"

In this country there is no privacy protection allowed.
HIPAA 5010 is a federally mandated electronic transaction standard requirement for the healthcare industry that must be completely implemented by January 1, 2012. I have been a registered nurse for 17 years and I have started a blog about the government and the alarming fact that you and your families personal privacy is at risk. The new HIPAA 5010 law that passed this year sets legal standards for the confiscation and de-identification of yours and your families’ personal electronic health care records. There is now no legal reason for permission to be obtained from you in order for your personal health care records to be confiscated and distributed to clearinghouses for de-identification and used for research. Most health care providers do not know this and certainly most U.S. citizens are not aware of this. Follow my blog and learn how to take control and keep the government and other private agencies from accessing your private health information.

  2. Very interesting! How can they pass a law like this without our knowledge? So what can we do about it now that it is going to take place? By the way, I am not surprised at anything that is taking place - I was going to ask what is wrong with our government - but I already know.

  5. That’s a good question. The Obama administration first attempted implementation of HIPAA 4010 to collect electronic medical records from federal employee's in order acquire statistical information for the federal health insurance programs. Federal employee's where notified of the proposed implementation of HIPAA 4010 and there was overwhelming opposition. In face of this opposition the administration halted the implementation of HIPAA 4010 and 4010A1. However due to the administrations impetus to achieve a working format for gathering this information congress readdressed the issue again at a later date but this time did not notify any federal employees. The new implementation of this regulation was passed overwhelming by congress. As there was no voiced opposition to implementation due to the fact that federal employees where not notified of the change until after it had been put up for a vote and passed into law under the new heading of HIPAA 5010 which had some minor changes to the 4010 regulations. Once the law had been passed there was little that could be done to halt the enforcement of the law.

  6. Even if there is a de-identification process a live person has to perform the process so they have access to our personal information. Getting the word out is important so everyone can be educated in the process.
