《健康保险流通与责任法案》（HIPAA）隐私规则的颁布是为了保护患者的个人健康信息不被不当披露。尽管HIPAA意在保护患者，但最近的报告表明，HIPAA的限制可能会对健康研究产生负面影响。对邮政编码地理信息系统（GIS）制图进行定量、可视化地理和统计分析，比较3位数符合hipaa和5位数不符合hipaa的模拟数据，以识别和描述可能导致的失真类型。研究发现，完全符合HIPAA制图规则的HIPAA扭曲了28%的GIS邮政编码数据，导致错误的结果。因此，在绘制地图时遵守HIPAA隐私规则可能导致调查人员发布错误的GIS地图。
The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) privacy rule was enacted to protect patients' personal health information from undue disclosure. Despite its intention to protect patients, recent reports suggest that HIPAA restrictions may be negatively impacting health research. Quantitative, visual geographical and statistical analysis of zip code geographical information systems (GIS) mapping, comparing 3-digit HIPAA-compliant and 5-digit HIPAA-non-compliant simulated data, was chosen to identify and describe the type of distortion that may result. It was found that unmitigated HIPAA compliance with HIPAA mapping rules distorted the GIS zip code data by 28% leading to erroneous results. Thus, compliance with HIPAA privacy rule when mapping may lead investigators to publish erroneous GIS maps.
