“To improve the health of individuals and communities, health information must be available to those making critical decisions, including individuals and their caregivers. While health information technology will help America move its health care system forward, the privacy and security of personal health data is at the core of all our work.” — Kathleen Sebelius, HHS Secretary, in announcing the Notice of Public Rule Making-Modifications to the HIPAA Privacy, Security, and Enforcement Rules Under HITECH in July 2010.
