Hi Brent, When I was at House Ear Institute, everyone (clinicians and scientists) had to undergo HIPAA training and incorporate HIPAA documents into the informed consent process. We were given to understand that even psychophyiscal measures were health-related information that needed to be included in HIPAA. Here at the University of Maryland, HIPAA hasn't entered the scene, even in the Hearing and Speech clinic within our department. Best, Monita M Chatterjee, PhD Asst Prof, Hearing and Speech Sciences 0100 LeFrak Hall University of Maryland at College Park College Park, MD 20742 301-405-7716 (Voice) 301-314-2023 (Fax) >>> Brent Edwards <brent(at)EDWARDS.NET> 5/12/2005 5:36:44 PM >>> How are people incorporating HIPAA regulations in their basic auditory research? If you measure someone's audiogram, speech understanding ability or basic psychacoustic function as a part of your research, what impact does HIPAA have on your procedures, such as data storage and providing subjects with Notice of Privacy Practices? Comments are appreciated. Thanks, --Brent
