Welcome to Health Information Privacy and Security Resource Center
The Agency for Health Care Administration has created this website as an educational resource for health care providers, health information organizations, and consumers that have questions and would like to learn more about the privacy and security of electronic health records. For providers that are considering the implementation of electronic health records in their office practice or the participation in a health information network, this site provides basic information about certification of vendor products, security risk assessments, and laws governing the release of health records.
Consumers can learn about their privacy rights through the information and links to other resources presented on this site. An important resource for consumers is the recently released Florida Personal Health Record Toolkit available at: http://www.fhin.net/PHR/index.shtml
This site also contains information about the activities of the Florida Health Information Security and Privacy Collaboration (HISPC) project, an on-going national initiative in which Florida and many other states are participating. The HISPC project is developing privacy and security solutions that will expedite the adoption and use of electronic health records through a collaborative process among the states.
