Health Privacy Working Group, Best Principles for Health Privacy (July 1999) (full-text).

Overview[]

This is a consensus document that reflects "best principles" for health privacy. It outlines the 11 principles to which the Working Group agreed and details the rationale behind the recommendations.

The principles represent significant compromises between Working Group members and should be seen as a framework that aims to accommodate the various information needs of diverse interest groups. The principles are designed to establish a baseline of protections that should be considered when implementing comprehensive patient privacy policies and practices.
