The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) Privacy Rule was intended to strike a balance between protecting the privacy of individually identifiable health information and preserving the legitimate use and disclosure of this information for important social goals. Too often, however, researchers believe that HIPAA creates far too many obstacles for the use of protected health information in the academic and research context.
Colin Zick, Partner and Chair of Foley Hoag LLP's Healthcare Practice and Chair of the Privacy and Data Security Practice will provide a primer on HIPAA and discuss how protected health information can be used in a research and academic context. There will also be a Question and Answer Session.
