Under HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act), information access refers to the rights of individuals to obtain their medical records and personal health information held by healthcare providers and health plans. HIPAA mandates that covered entities must provide individuals with access to their information within a specified timeframe and ensure that the data is accurate and complete. This access is crucial for patients to manage their health and make informed decisions about their care while also ensuring the protection of their privacy and confidentiality.
