HIPAA - stands for the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act. This Act was passed in 1996. The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act is broad, covering many areas, such as privacy, security, and electronic transactions. When you hear people talk about Privacy, they are speaking of the Privacy Rule which applies to anyone who may handle a patient's health information. The Privacy Rule has requirements that must be met by April 14, 2003.

The Accounting for Disclosures Report
Organizations that use Protected Health Information (PHI) are required by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act to provide patients (upon request) a list of disclosures of the patient's PHI. This means that your organization must keep track of these disclosures and be able to compile the necessary information about them into a single report to patients.
Providing this Accounting for Disclosures report can be an onerous manual process that is prone to mistakes.
"HIPAATrackAndComply" makes this easy by keeping a record of disclosures so that you can print the required Accounting for Disclosures report with a few mouse clicks when patients request them.
Tracking Patient Requests - Keeping your promises
"HIPAATrackAndComply" will also track the various related requests made by patients. In addition to the Accounting for Disclosures report, patients also have the right to request:
*restrictions on how their information can be used and shared;
*amendments to their file;
*to see and copy their records;
*representatives to speak and decide for them on health matters; and
*alternative ways of communicating with you
Upholding these patient rights will be very difficult if you can't keep track of the promises you've made. "HIPAATrackAndComply" will allow you to track these requests and give your staff one place to find a listing and description of all requests so they will not miss critical information when dealing with the patient, his or her family and friends, or others who are seeking information about the patient.
