Correct answer choice is:
A. Patients are assured that only those involved in their care have access to their personal health information.
Explanation:
A federal law named the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act refers to most healthcare practitioners and its ordinance, identified as the Privacy Rule, fixes particular laws concerning secrecy, access, and exposure of data. A violation of protected health information (“PHI”) is described as the possession, access, application, or revealing of unsecured PHI, in a way not authorized by HIPAA, which models an important prospect of economic, reputational, or another impairment to the concerned person.
