摘要

Although advances in information technology (IT) can improve the quality and other aspects of health care, the electronic storage and exchange of personal health information introduces risks to the privacy of that information. In January 2007, GAO reported on the status of efforts by the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to ensure the privacy of personal health information exchanged within a nationwide health information network. GAO recommended that HHS define and implement an overall privacy approach for protecting that information. For this report, GAO was asked to provide an update on HHSs efforts to address the January 2007 recommendation. To do so, GAO analyzed relevant HHS documents that described the departments privacy-related health IT activities. GAO recommends that HHS include in its overall privacy approach a process for ensuring that key privacy principles and challenges are completely and adequately addressed. In written comments on a draft of this report, HHS generally agreed with the information discussed in the report.
