A Privacy Rule Authorization is an individuals signed permission to allow a covered entity to use or disclose the individuals protected health information (PHI) that is described in the Authorization for the purpose(s) and to the recipient(s) stated in the Authorization.
For example, disclosure may be justified to protect individuals or society from risks of serious harm, such as from serious communicable diseases or serious crime. You can find guidance on disclosing information in the public interest to prevent death or serious harm in paragraphs 63 - 70.
In the cases when HIPAA requires authorization to disclose information, that authorization must include the core elements specified by HIPAA. This is necessary when disclosure of protected health information is not permitted by the HIPAA Privacy Rules.
45 CFR 164.508: (i) A description of the information to be used or disclosed that identifies the information in a specific and meaningful fashion. (ii) The name or other specific identification of the person(s), or class of persons, authorized to make the requested use or disclosure.
