HIPAA Hybrid Entity Toolkit

To improve important data sharing, health departments that elected to be fully covered by HIPAA should re-evaluate the option to generally restrict HIPAA to only those programs that are required under law to comply with HIPAA. The Network for Public Health Law created the HIPAA Hybrid Entity Toolkit that includes legal, policy and practical guidance to understand and implement HIPAA's hybrid entity option. This toolkit is intended for privacy officers, public health practitioners and their attorneys.
