Health Care Dive interviewed Member Dianne Bourque about the Biden administration's proposed new rule that would ban health care entities from sharing patient information. Dianne commented, "Nothing in the new rule stops a law enforcement agency from signing the attestation, receiving the data and then using it in an investigation or criminal proceeding. However, that data could be inadmissable in court given it was illegally obtained." She continued, "What the attestation does do, if a requester signs it, is insulate providers from violating HIPAA” even if the data is later misused."
