Health Risk Assessment Security

Meaning

The comprehensive set of administrative, technical, and physical safeguards implemented to ensure the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of personally identifiable health information collected during a Health Risk Assessment (HRA). This security is paramount for maintaining patient trust and complying with stringent data privacy regulations like HIPAA, covering all phases from data collection and transmission to storage and analysis. The clinical translation requires not only technical encryption but also strict protocols governing who can access and utilize sensitive health data for population health management.
