美国第11巡回上诉法院最近裁定,佛罗里达州的一项法律要求养老院披露已故患者的患者记录,这项法律被1996年的医疗保险便携和责任法案(HIPAA)抢先一步。此案之所以重要,是因为它表明,HIPAA和州法律中哪个更严格的问题并不总是二元化或直截了当的,在某些情况下,州法律会被视为HIPAA的框定或背景,而在其他情况下,L将被视为保护性较弱。因此,尽管HIPAA优先购买权原则已经得到很好的解决,但该原则的适用存在一些不确定性,特别是考虑到州法律的多种多样。
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the 11th Circuit recently ruled that a Florida law requiring nursing homes to disclose patient records of deceased patients was preempted by the Health Insurance Portabil ity and Accountabil ity Act of 1996 (HIPAA). This case is important because it suggests that the question of whether HIPAA or state law is stricter may not always be binary or straightforward, and that in some cases state law wil l be seen as framing or contextualizing HIPAA and in other cases wil l be seen as less protective. Thus, while the HIPAA preemption principle is well-settled, the application of that principle sti l l presents some uncertainty, especially given the varied nature of state law.
