    Correct Answer

    Explanation
    Under HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act), patients have the right to request and obtain a copy of their medical records. This legislation ensures that individuals have access to their personal health information and promotes transparency in healthcare. By allowing patients to review their medical records, they can stay informed about their health status, make informed decisions about their care, and have the ability to correct any inaccuracies. Therefore, the statement that a patient can ask for and receive a copy of their medical record under HIPAA is true.

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    Protected Health Information (PHI) cannot be disposed of properly in the regular garbage, even if it is only a copy and not an original document. PHI contains sensitive and confidential information about an individual's health, and proper disposal is necessary to protect their privacy and prevent unauthorized access. The correct way to dispose of PHI is through secure methods such as shredding or incineration to ensure that the information cannot be retrieved or accessed by unauthorized individuals.

    A disclosure of pHI must be limited to the minimum necessary amount of information in order to complete the request.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    A disclosure of PHI (Protected Health Information) should only include the minimum necessary amount of information required to fulfill a specific request. This is done to protect patient privacy and ensure that only the relevant information is shared. By limiting the amount of information disclosed, healthcare organizations can minimize the risk of unauthorized access or use of sensitive data. Therefore, the statement "A disclosure of PHI must be limited to the minimum necessary amount of information in order to complete the request" is true.

    Correct Answer
    A. Breach
    Explanation
    A breach is defined as an impermissible disclosure of PHI that compromises the security or privacy of the patient. This means that when there is an unauthorized release of protected health information (PHI) that puts the patient's security or privacy at risk, it is considered a breach. This can include situations where PHI is accidentally or intentionally disclosed to unauthorized individuals or entities, potentially leading to harm or misuse of the patient's information. It is important to prevent breaches and take appropriate measures to protect patient confidentiality and security.

    Explanation
    HIPAA, the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, is a federal law that regulates the protection of sensitive patient information. The Office for Civil Rights (OCR) is responsible for enforcing HIPAA regulations. The OCR ensures that healthcare providers, insurers, and other covered entities comply with HIPAA's privacy and security rules.

    • Scheduling Coordinator

    • Government Agency

    • Clinical Consultant

    Correct Answer
    A. Clinical Consultant
    Explanation
    A clinical consultant would be considered a Business Associate because they provide professional services to a covered entity (such as a healthcare provider) that involve the use or disclosure of protected health information (PHI). Business Associates are individuals or organizations that perform certain functions or activities on behalf of a covered entity and are therefore subject to HIPAA regulations. As a clinical consultant may have access to PHI while providing their services, they would fall under the definition of a Business Associate.
