    The student chose to research patient health data privacy for their signature assignment project. They began by researching HIPAA, which establishes standards to protect sensitive patient health information and allows information to be shared for care improvement while maintaining privacy. A survey found 90% of patients expressed concerns about privacy of their health data. The AMA also warned that digital patient data is increasingly vulnerable and may be shared beyond HIPAA guidelines without stronger federal privacy protections. The initial research yielded useful information and the student plans to investigate further if data is truly being shared outside of HIPAA rules.

    Response to Patient’s Privacy and Health Data

    Hello Madison Peltzer,

    I feel that the information in this

    For my signature assignment project, the topic that was chosen was that of patient’s health

    data and privacy. Honestly, before this class I had no idea what healthcare informatics was.

    Something that I have always wondered to myself is how our health data protected is and what goes

    in to protecting this data. I started with using a basic google search. This search yielded many results

    for this topic with no problem comprehending the wording for the articles. One article that caught

    my attention is that of the CDC where they explained the Health Insurance Portability and

    Accountability Act or better known as HIPPA. This act states that sensitive information regarding

    patient health data is protected and prevents health information from being disclosed unless patient

    gives consent (CDC.gov, 2022). The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act is extremely

    important as it allows the flow of patient’s health information to improve quality of care while also

    maintaining appropriate privacy (CDC.gov, 2022). This article also lays out who must comply with

    these standards. These include health care providers, health plans, healthcare clearinghouses, and

    other business associates involved in claims processing, data analysis, and billing (CDC.gov, 2022).  

    The next article that was found that was helpful with my search was that of patients

    expressing health data privacy concerns. The American Medical Association conducted a survey of

    1,000 patients in which 90 percent expressed concerned over there private health data (McKeon,

    2022). The American Medical Association also expressed concern that patients’ private health

    information is increasingly vulnerable, and that digital patient data is being shared beyond the HIPPA

    guidelines without federal privacy (McKeon, 2022). I plan on further researching this topic to see if

    this data is actually being shared beyond HIPPA guidelines. This search has yielded many great results

    and I can’t wait to start digging deeper into this topic.
