DOH Posts Proposed Consumer Consent Policies for RHIOs

The New York Health Information Security and Privacy Collaboration (NYHISPC) has produced a proposed "Standardized Consumer Consent Policies and Procedures for RHIOs in New York State" which is now posted on the DOH website. (Link here.)

The purpose of this document from the New York HISPC team is to put forth for public comment recommended policies and guidelines governing consumer consent for the exchange of personal health information in a technology-enabled health care environment facilitated by Regional Health Information Organizations (RHIOs) in New York State in order to protect privacy and strengthen security. Comments received will be reviewed and considered during the development of final policy guidance that will be issued by the New York State Department of Health.

Link to the NYHISCP "Phase II" page here, where you can also access the comment form for submitting comments to the draft policy.
