Please describe the publication's mission and readership:
The Journal of AHIMA serves as a professional development tool for health information managers. It keeps readers current on issues that affect the profession and contributes to the field by publishing best practices and new knowledge.
Please describe the enterprising work that went into this entry and its significance or impact on readers:
Despite the fact that the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) has been the law of the land for 20 years, confusion regarding the provisions of the law and patient rights still lingers among both healthcare providers and consumers alike. Inspired by some of the common questions Journal of AHIMA receives from healthcare providers and consumers regarding HIPAA, the Journal spoke with an attorney who specializes in HIPAA law to address aspects of HIPAA that still inspire confusion, as well as offer guidance for health information management professionals on how to discuss the provisions of HIPAA with consumers. The slide show adds an interactive element to the web feature “Making HIPAA Work for You: Discussing Record Access (and More) for Consumers,” which discusses additional context and provides insight on these frequent questions posed by readers in response to articles on HIPAA. The slide show allows readers to explore potential HIPAA questions in depth, with each slide addressing a different aspect of HIPAA by answering a specific query.
