Question

Health research involves analyzing millions of patient records with the goal of better understanding human diseases, to determine treatment effectiveness, and to identify health and disease trends. However, HIPAA law requires patients to give approval for their records to be used in this kind of study, and, many patients do not understand what is being asked of them when permission is requested. What impacts might this have on the speed of and quality of health research? What recommendations can you make to resolve the impacts you identified?

Answer 1

Because many patients do not understand what is being asked of them when permission is requested, patients should learn about the HIPPA rules and violations prior to their visits. If they are not informed about HIPPA, it will slow down the process of allowing health researchers to gather the patients records to understand human diseases. A solution is informing them briefly about the HIPPA and asking the patient if researchers could use their info to help gather more data to help understanding human diseases, to determine treatment effectiveness, and to identify health and disease trend.

Answer 2

Patients always know about the Hipaa rules and violations it’s literally everywhere in the hospital and explained to them by their nurses and doctors it’s also in the patient rooms. Yes it would slow the process of gathering medical evidence for case by case studies but this can simply be fixed by asking the patient sir/mam would you mind if we used your info to help us gather more data on the following issue you have this is something that you would see heavily with something not well understood in the medical community for example the pandemic we are in now we are still learning about it and they do ask patients if they can use their info to figure out symptoms what steps we can take to provide for the patients etc. a big issue is that not every hospital/clinic sticks to the book when it comes to rules and regulations and that’s not just in the medical field you can find that almost in any profession. I hope that helped you out.
