Late last week, the United States Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), Office for Civil Rights issued a
Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPR) to make significant revisions to the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, commonly known as HIPAA. HIPAA was first enacted in the late 1990s and the health care system has seen significant changes since that time. Many of these changes, such as the emergence of the opioid problem and the increase in availability of digital health information, have resulted with many in the health care system advocating for revisions to the regulations that balance patient privacy against the needs for information sharing as part of the collaborative health care system.

This data is not available for all states, and is incomplete in others, artificially lowering the published vaccination rates for some counties. Tap on a county to see how much data is missing in each state. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said on Sunday about 106.2 million people have received at least one dose of a Covid-19 vaccine, including about 61.4 million people who have been fully vaccinated by Johnson & Johnson’s single-dose vaccine or the two-dose series made by Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna.
The United States Department of Health and Human Services’ Office of Civil Rights (OCR) delivered religious freedom and pro-life wins in three cases announced on Wednesday.
“Regardless of who sits in my chair as Director of the Office for Civil Rights, conscience and religious freedom should no longer be a point of debate. It is not a partisan football. It is a fundamental human right that needs to be respected. And that is what is being communicated by these actions taken today,” OCR Director Roger Severino said.
In the first case, the OCR announced that it secured access for religious clergy in New York’s Mt. Sinai Health System, even during the COVID-19 pandemic.
