The California Patient Privacy Manual

This California-specific resource was written to help providers comply with the new HIPAA privacy law. The manual offers clear direction on what providers need to do to comply, recommends action steps and includes sample forms and notices. 

A key component of this one-of-a-kind resource is the "Preemption Analysis." This document compares privacy requirements under HIPAA to the California Confidentiality of Medical Information Act and the California Patient Access to Health Records Act, the California Patient Access to Health Records Act, the Lanterman-Petris-Short Act and other state laws. 223 pages (3rd edition, Jan. 2004)
