Professor Terry Contributes Essay on HIPAA Anniversary
08/23/2021
As more health data are generated outside of traditional health care, HIPAA’s protective impact is shrinking, which places it at a growing disadvantage in a world of digital health.
That’s the analysis by IU McKinney Law Professor Nicolas Terry, who contributed an essay, “Chasing Technology for 25 Years,” to the The Regulatory Review, a publication of the Penn Program on Regulation at the University of Pennsylvania.
The Regulatory Review published Professor Terry’ essay as part of a series that commemorates the 25th anniversary of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, which was signed into law by President Bill Clinton. The essays examine HIPAA’s strengths and weaknesses and identifying possible recommendations for future health privacy reform.
Professor Terry is Executive Director of the Hall Center for Law and Health at IU McKinney, where he teaches healthcare and health policy courses. He is one of the permanent bloggers at the Bill of Health blog, a host of “The Week in Health Law” podcast at TWIHL.com, and @nicolasterry on twitter.
