The Joint Commission is a healthcare accreditation group, governed by federal law that reviews and accredits hospitals that meet the criteria for the Medicare Conditions of Participation (reimbursement).
Examples of Information Management Standards for hospital accreditation include:
- How hospitals identify the internal and external information needed to provide safe, quality care
- How information flows within the hospital,
- How data and information come into and leave the hospital; use the information identified to guide the development of information management processes;
- How staff and licensed independent practitioners participate in the assessment, selection, integration, and use of information management.
The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) mandates that providers, health plans, clearinghouses, and their business associates establish appropriate administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect the privacy and security of sensitive health information. Specifically, sections 164.308 and 164.312 of the HIPAA Security Standards define administrative and technical safeguards that must be used to protect confidential medical information. HIPAA also requires health providers and others to take steps to mitigate any breach of safeguards or other violations of its policies and procedures.
