The Privacy and Civil Liberties Office (PCLO) established a Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) Privacy Board, otherwise known as the DHA Privacy Board, to provide HIPAA Privacy Rule reviews and documentation for researchers that seek to use and/or disclose protected health information (PHI) managed by DHA. The DHA Privacy Board is critical for DHA’s compliance with the HIPAA Privacy Rule (45 CFR 160 & 164) and Department of Defense (DOD) Health Information Privacy Regulation (DOD 6025.18-R).
