    • Innovating Healthcare Compliance: Redesigning HIPAA Patient Authorization to Enhance Operational Efficiency

      Hernandez Urena, Darling; Mack, Amanda; Nohelty, Tamara (2024-12-09)
      This internship project focused on the development and implementation of a standardized HIPAA Patient Authorization form for the Beth Israel Lahey Hospitals (BILH). Recognizing the vital role that compliance and operational efficiency play in healthcare settings, the project aimed to enhance patient trust while ensuring adherence to regulatory standards. A comprehensive approach was taken to design the authorization form, emphasizing the inclusion of all necessary elements as outlined by HIPAA and CFR42 Part 2. The objective was to achieve at least 90% compliance with existing regulations. To inform the design process, stakeholder engagement was prioritized, and feedback was gathered through at least three rounds of consultations. The results of this project indicate that a thoughtfully designed authorization form can significantly streamline the process of handling sensitive health information, thereby improving operational workflows and enhancing the overall patient experience at BILH. Ultimately, this initiative not only aims to boost compliance but also fosters a culture of trust and transparency between the hospital and its patients.
