HIPAA compliant services access and exchange of information
among EMR participants, a health care facility must consider the following when
determining whether or not to provide a physician access to the PHI contained
in the EMR Software in Saudi Arabia:
1. The doctor's relationship (and / or the doctor's group
relationship) with the health care facility.
2. The nature and extent of the information in the EMR to
which the physician's access is allowed (for example, if the doctor will be
able to access the information only for his own patients, or if the doctor will
be able to access the information of the installation patients or other
physicians in the facility).
3. If the information is in an individually identifiable or
aggregated form.
4. The purpose for which the physician or the physician's
staff access the information (for example, for treatment, payment or
operations). Any disclosure that is not for treatment, payment or operations
must be analyzed to verify compliance with HIPAA by doing the following:
·
Obtain patient authorizations when appropriate;
·
Second implement and document appropriate access
controls;
·
Comply with the provisions of the patient's
rights, such as the right to access or modify the patient's medical records;
·
Disclosing only the minimum amount of PHI
needed;
·
With the required provisions if the disclosures
are for research and other public health purposes;
·
Comply with the required provisions of the
business partner agreement.
All persons who have access to the EMR Software in Saudi Arabia of a health facility must be required to comply with HIPAA's privacy and
security regulations. To address privacy and security issues, it is a good
practice for EMR users to:
Notify the facility of additions and deletions of other EMR
users within 24 hours. For example, a group of physicians with access to EMR Software in Saudi Arabia must inform the facility of the addition or removal of the group's medical
employees so that access can be added or terminated appropriately.
