Barnes-Jewish Hospital follows federal guidelines that help protect patient's health information by limiting the amount of information provided to the public without patient authorization. The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) is a federal law that is designed to ensure the portability of health insurance for individuals from one job to another and protect patient health information. Protected health information is any health information that can be used to identify a patient and relates to health-care services provided to the patient or the payment of those services. It includes all medical records and other information, which identifies the patient, such as demographic, medical and financial - in any form - electronic, paper or spoken.
