Confidentiality and Research Authorization for Use and Disclosure of Your Health Care Information There are two laws that provide ways to protect confidential information about your health. One known as “HIPAA” (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability) provides national standards for the electronic exchange, privacy and security of the information usually contained in your medical record.
