In 1996, Congress enacted HIPAA to protect the confidentiality and security of health records, which became increasingly electronic. The Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health (HITECH) Act later extended these privacy protections for electronically stored and shared health records. Today, healthcare providers must comply with both laws when a health record is requested. While it may seem that only patients request their records, most requests come from external groups and organizations. HIPAA regulates who can access patient records, requiring authorization that includes nine specific criteria, emphasizing the importance of attention to detail in processing these requests efficiently.
