HIPAA helps the patient-provider relationship by ensuring privacy protection, giving patients control over their personal information, requiring consent for information sharing, and promoting compliance and accountability.

To assure patients their medical records are protected:

Comply with HIPAA regulations.
Clearly communicate privacy policies.
Obtain consent for sharing records.
Implement secure systems and controls.
Train staff on privacy protocols.
Foster transparent communication.
Provide patient access to their records.

Taking into consideration both Risk Management (monetary loss prevention) and Quality Assurance (Ensure compliance). In a medical office, to avoid charges of fraud or abuse, implementing thorough risk management protocols to prevent monetary loss and ensuring strict quality assurance measures to maintain compliance with healthcare regulations are essential steps.

Appointing a security official for a newly opened clinic is an example of satisfying an administrative security standard.
