#HIPAA #HealthIT
45 CFR Part 160. 45 CFR Part 160 is the section of the federal HIPAA regulations that sets out general rules applying across the HIPAA framework, including key definitions, how compliance is investigated, and how penalties may be imposed. It provides the foundational terms and procedures that the more specific HIPAA rules build upon. Because it contains provisions that cross-cut the Privacy, Security, and Breach Notification rules, it is often read together with the other parts of the regulations rather than on its own.

#HIPAA #HealthIT
42 CFR Part 2. 42 CFR Part 2, commonly called 'Part 2', is a federal regulation that protects the confidentiality of substance use disorder (SUD) treatment records. It generally restricts when these records can be used or disclosed, including limits on their use in legal proceedings against patients. It is a separate legal framework from HIPAA, though both can apply to the same information in many cases.
