In 1996, Congress enacted HIPAA to protect the confidentiality and security of health records, especially as they became electronic. The HITECH Act later extended privacy protection for electronically stored and shared health records. When a health record is requested, healthcare providers must comply with both acts. It's important to note that most health record requests come from outside groups, not just patients. HIPAA regulates who can access patient records, requiring specific criteria for release, and many requests necessitate patient authorization. Each request form is unique, making attention to detail essential for proper and efficient processing.
