1. HIPAA - Umthetho Wobumfihlo.

Umthetho Wokuthwala Umshwalense Wezempilo Ka-1996 (HIPAA) umthetho wenhlangano owawudinga ukuthi kudalwe izindinganiso zikazwelonke ukuze kuvikelwe ulwazi lwezempilo lwesiguli olubucayi ukuthi lungadalulwa ngaphandle kwemvume noma ulwazi lwesiguli. UMnyango Wezempilo Nezinkonzo Zabantu wase-US (HHS) ukhiphe le HIPAA Umthetho Wobumfihlo wokuqalisa izidingo ze HIPAA. The HIPAA Umthetho Wokuvikela uvikela isethi engaphansi yolwazi ehlanganiswe Umthetho Wobumfihlo. Izimiso Zomthetho Wobumfihlo zikhuluma ngokusetshenziswa nokudalulwa kolwazi lwezempilo lomuntu ngamunye (olwaziwa ngokuthi ulwazi lwezempilo oluvikelwe noma i-PHI) yizinhlangano ezingaphansi koMthetho Wobumfihlo. Laba bantu nezinhlangano babizwa “ngezinhlaka ezikhaviwe”.

2. Amabhizinisi Akhaviwe.

Izinhlobo ezilandelayo zabantu nezinhlangano zingaphansi koMthetho Wobumfihlo futhi zibhekwa njengezinhlangano ezikhaviwe:

Abahlinzeki bezempilo: Bonke abahlinzeki bokunakekelwa kwezempilo, kungakhathaliseki ubukhulu bokusebenza, abadlulisela ulwazi lwezempilo nge-elekthronikhi mayelana ne-Platform yethu ku- Cruz Médika. 

Lezi zinsizakalo zifaka:

o Ukubonisana

o Imibuzo

o Izicelo zokugunyazwa kokudluliselwa

o Okunye okwenziwayo esisungule amazinga awo ngaphansi kwe HIPAA Umthetho Wokuthengiselana.

Izinhlelo zezempilo:

Izinhlelo zezempilo zihlanganisa:

o Impilo, kanye nemishwalense yemithi kadokotela

o Izinhlangano zokugcinwa kwezempilo (HMOs)

o Imishwalense ye-Medicare, Medicaid, Medicare + Choice, kanye ne-Medicare supplement

o Imishwalense yokunakekela yesikhathi eside (ngaphandle kwezinqubomgomo zembuyiselo egxilile yekhaya lasebekhulile)

o Izinhlelo zezempilo zeqembu ezixhaswe ngumqashi

o Izinhlelo zezempilo ezixhaswe nguhulumeni kanye nebandla

o Izinhlelo zezempilo zabaqashi abaningi

Isiqephu: 

Uhlelo lwezempilo lweqembu olunabahlanganyeli abangaphansi kuka-50 olulawulwa umqashi kuphela olusungule futhi olunakekela uhlelo aluyona ibhizinisi elikhaviwe.

• Izindlu zokunakekelwa kwezempilo: Amabhizinisi acubungula ulwazi olungajwayelekile aluthola kwelinye ibhizinisi aluyise ezingeni (okungukuthi, ifomethi evamile noma okuqukethwe kwedatha), noma okuphambene nalokho. Ezimweni eziningi, izindawo zokunakekelwa kwezempilo zizothola ulwazi lwezempilo olukhonjwa ngazodwana kuphela uma zihlinzeka ngalezi zinsizakalo zokucubungula ohlelweni lwezempilo noma umhlinzeki wokunakekelwa kwezempilo njengozakwethu webhizinisi.

• Ababambisene nabo ebhizinisini: Umuntu noma inhlangano (ngaphandle kwelungu labasebenzi bebhizinisi elikhaviwe) esebenzisa noma edalula ulwazi lwezempilo olukhonjwa ngabanye ukwenza noma ukuhlinzeka ngemisebenzi, imisebenzi, noma amasevisi ebhizinisi elikhaviwe. Le misebenzi, imisebenzi, noma amasevisi afaka:

o Ukucutshungulwa kwezicelo

o Ukuhlaziywa kwedatha

o Ukubuyekezwa kokusetshenziswa

o Ukukhokhisa

3. Izilawuli zedatha nama-Data processors.

Imithetho emisha idinga zombili izilawuli zedatha (njenge Cruz Médika) kanye nama-Data processors (ozakwethu abaxhumene nezinkampani ezihlinzeka ngezempilo) ukuze babuyekeze izinqubo zabo nobuchwepheshe ukuze bahlangabezane nezidingo ezishiwo. Singabalawuli bedatha yedatha ehlobene nomsebenzisi. Isilawuli sedatha ngumuntu noma inhlangano enquma ukuthi iyiphi idatha ekhishiwe, ukuthi isetshenziselwa yiphi injongo nokuthi ubani ovunyelwe ukucubungula idatha. GDPR kwandisa isibopho esinaso sokwazisa abasebenzisi namalungu mayelana nendlela idatha yabo esetshenziswa ngayo nokuthi ubani.

4. Ukusetshenziswa Okuvunyelwe kanye Nokudalulwa.

Umthetho uvumela, kodwa awudingi, ibhizinisi elikhavwe ukuthi lisebenzise futhi lidalule i-PHI, ngaphandle kwemvume yomuntu ngamunye, ngezinjongo noma izimo ezilandelayo:

• Ukudalulwa kumuntu (uma ulwazi ludingeka ukuze kufinyelelwe noma kubalwe imali edalulwayo, inkampane KUMELE idalule kulowo muntu)

• Ukwelashwa, inkokhelo, nokunakekelwa kwezempilo

• Ithuba lokuvuma noma ukuphikisa ukudalulwa kwe-PHI

o Ibhizinisi lingathola imvume engakahleleki ngokubuza umuntu ngokuqondile, noma ngezimo ezinikeza umuntu ithuba lokuvuma, ukuvuma, noma ukuphikisa.

• Isigameko sokusetshenziswa okuvunyelwe ngenye indlela nokudalulwa

• Idathasethi elinganiselwe yocwaningo, impilo yomphakathi, noma imisebenzi yokunakekelwa kwezempilo

• Imisebenzi enentshisekelo yomphakathi kanye nenzuzo—Umthetho Wobumfihlo uvumela ukusetshenziswa nokudalulwa kwe-PHI, ngaphandle kwemvume noma imvume yomuntu, ngezinjongo eziyi-12 ezibalulekile kuzwelonke: okuhlanganisa:

a. Lapho kudingeka ngokomthetho

b. Imisebenzi yezempilo yomphakathi

c. Izisulu zokuhlukunyezwa noma ukunganakwa noma udlame lwasekhaya

d. Imisebenzi yokwengamela impilo

e. Izinqubo zokwahlulela nezokuphatha

f. Wokukatelela ngomthetho

g. Imisebenzi (efana nokuhlonza) ephathelene nabantu abashonile

h. Ukunikela ngesitho se-Cadaveric, iso, noma izicubu

i. Ucwaningo, ngaphansi kwezimo ezithile

j. Ukuvimbela noma ukunciphisa usongo olukhulu empilweni noma ukuphepha

k. Imisebenzi kahulumeni ebalulekile

l. Isinxephezelo sabasebenzi

5. HIPAA – Umthetho Wokuphepha.

Kuyilapho HIPAA Umthetho Wobumfihlo uvikela i-PHI, Umthetho Wokuvikela uvikela isethi engaphansi yolwazi ehlanganiswe Umthetho Wobumfihlo. Lesi sigatshana siwulwazi lwezempilo olukhonjwa ngazinye ibhizinisi elikhavwe elidala, elitholayo, elinakekelayo, noma eliluthumela ngefomu le-elekthronikhi. Lolu lwazi lubizwa ngokuthi ulwazi lwezempilo oluvikelwe nge-elekthronikhi, noma i-e-PHI. Umthetho Wokuvikela awusebenzi ku-PHI odluliselwa ngomlomo noma ngokubhaliwe.

Ukuhambisana ne- HIPAA - Umthetho Wokuphepha, zonke izinhlangano ezihlanganisiwe kufanele:

• Ukuqinisekisa ukugcinwa kuyimfihlo, ubuqotho, nokutholakala kwayo yonke i-e-PHI

• Thola futhi uvikele ezingozini okulindelekile ekuvikelekeni kolwazi

• Vikela ekusetshenzisweni okungavunyelwe okulindelekile noma ukudalulwa okungavunyelwe umthetho

• Baqinisekise ukuthi abasebenzi bayayithobela imithetho

Amabhizinisi akhaviwe kufanele athembele ekuziphatheni okuhle nasekunqumeni okungcono kakhulu lapho ecubungula izicelo zalokhu kusetshenziswa okuvunyelwe nokudalulwa. IHhovisi le-HHS Lamalungelo Abantu liyaphoqelela HIPAA imithetho, futhi zonke izikhalazo kufanele zibikwe kulelo hhovisi. HIPAA ukwephula umthetho kungaholela ezijezisweni zemali yomphakathi noma zobugebengu.

6. Iluphi Ulwazi Oluvikelwe?.

Sivikela imininingwane yomuntu siqu ehlinzekwe ngokuphathelene nokuhlinzekwa kwethu kwesevisi okufana nalokhu:

• Ulwazi odokotela bakho, abahlengikazi, nabanye abahlinzeki bezempilo abalufaka kurekhodi lakho lezokwelapha

• Izingxoxo udokotela wakho anazo mayelana nokunakekelwa noma ukwelashwa kwakho nabahlengikazi nabanye

• Ulwazi ngawe ohlelweni lwekhompyutha lomshwalense wakho wezempilo

• Ulwazi lwenkokhelo ngawe emtholampilo wakho

• Iningi lolunye ulwazi lwezempilo ngawe oluphethwe yilabo okumele balandele le mithetho

7. Ivikelwe Kanjani Lolu lwazi?.

Ngezansi kunezilinganiso ezibekiwe zokuvikela yonke idatha yomsebenzisi

• Amabhizinisi akhaviwe kufanele abeke izivikelo ukuze avikele ulwazi lwakho lwezempilo futhi aqinisekise ukuthi alusebenzisi noma aludaluli ulwazi lwakho lwezempilo ngokungafanele.

• Amabhizinisi akhaviwe kufanele alinganisele ukusetshenziswa nokudalulwa okungenani okudingekayo ukuze afeze injongo yawo.

• Izinkampani ezikhaviwe kufanele zibe nezinqubo zokukhawulela ukuthi ubani ongabuka futhi afinyelele ulwazi lwakho lwezempilo futhi asebenzise izinhlelo zokuqeqesha zezisebenzi mayelana nendlela yokuvikela ulwazi lwakho lwezempilo.

• Abasebenzisana nabo kwezamabhizinisi kumele babeke izivikelo ukuze bavikele ulwazi lwakho lwezempilo futhi baqinisekise ukuthi abasebenzisi noma badalule imininingwane yakho yezempilo ngokungafanele.

8. Yimaphi Amalungelo Umthetho Wobumfihlo Onginika wona Ngokuphathelene Nolwazi Lwami Lwezempilo?

Abashwalense bezempilo nabahlinzeki abakhaviwe bayavuma ukuthobela ilungelo lakho loku: 

• Cela ukubona nokuthola ikhophi yamarekhodi akho ezempilo

• Ilungelo lokucela ukulungiswa kolwazi lwakho lwezempilo

• Ilungelo lokwaziswa ngokuthi ulwazi lwakho lwezempilo lungasetshenziswa futhi kwabelwane kanjani

• Ilungelo lokunquma ukuthi uyafuna yini ukunikeza imvume yakho ngaphambi kokuba ulwazi lwakho lwezempilo lusetshenziswe noma kwabelwane ngalo ngezinjongo ezithile, njengokumaketha.

• Ilungelo lokucela ukuthi inkampane ekhaviwe ikhawulele indlela ulwazi lwakho lwezempilo olusetshenziswa ngayo noma oludalulwa ngayo.

• Thola umbiko wokuthi ulwazi lwakho lwezempilo lwabiwe nini futhi ngani ngezinjongo ezithile

• Uma ukholelwa ukuthi amalungelo akho ayanqatshelwa noma ulwazi lwakho lwezempilo aluvikelwe, ungakwazi

o Faka isikhalazo kumhlinzeki wakho noma umshwalense wezempilo

o Faka isikhalazo ku-HHS

Kufanele wazi la malungelo abalulekile, akusiza ukuthi uvikele ulwazi lwakho lwezempilo.

Ungabuza umhlinzeki wakho noma umshwalense wezempilo imibuzo mayelana nelungelo lakho.
