The HIPAA Privacy Rule requires health plans and covered health care providers to develop and distribute a notice that provides a clear, user friendly explanation of individuals rights with respect to their personal health information and the privacy practices of health plans and health care providers.
In a nutshell, the purpose of the document is to clearly outline the practices you have in place to protect the privacy of sensitive data (hence the name Notice of Privacy Practices) along with your organizations' legal responsibilities and patients' rights to their own PHI.
A Notice of Privacy Practices (NPP) is one of the requirements of HIPAA and helps patients understand their personal data rights. A Notice of Privacy Practices (NPP) is a document that explains to patients, employees, and clients how relevant health information will be collected, processed, stored, and used.
HIPAA-mandated notice that covered entities must give to patients and research subjects that describes how a covered entity may use and disclose their protected health information, and informs them of their legal rights regarding PHI.
PHI is health information in any form, including physical records, electronic records, or spoken information. Therefore, PHI includes health records, health histories, lab test results, and medical bills. Essentially, all health information is considered PHI when it includes individual identifiers.
A notice of privacy practices (NPP) for PHI is a critical part of the HIPAA Privacy Rule that covered entities of all sizes need to understand. This piece of communication is also essential for the relationship between a health plan or provider and their patients.
The notice is intended to focus individuals on privacy issues and concerns, and to prompt them to have discussions with their health plans and health care providers and exercise their rights.
