Question 7 • AA - S26 Introduction to Healthcare Science

How does the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act impact patient medical records?

Answer
A
by establishing which patients need to have medical records
B
by not allowing medical records to be stored electronically on computers
C
by establishing how medical records are to be stored and accessed
D
by determining how many times a provider can access medical records in a day

Explanation

HIPAA sets privacy and security requirements for protecting patients’ health information. It governs how medical records are stored and who may access them; it does not ban electronic records or set a daily limit on provider access. Therefore, the correct choice is “by establishing how medical records are to be stored and accessed.”
