| privacy
and security policies (Florida)
Florida statutes
require that all records
owners "develop and implement policies, standards,
and procedures to protect the confidentiality and security
of the medical record."
(FL Stat 456.07)
Further, it is
required that "[e]mployees of records owners shall be
trained in these policies, standards, and procedures."
Strictly speaking,
the above does not apply to hospitals, which are regulated
under separate statutes (chapter 395). It is reasonable to
assume that a similar standard would be implied, however,
for health information where-ever and however held.
