With the passage of HIPAA, what six rights did patients receive?

What will be an ideal response?

1. receive notification of how their healthcare information is used; 2. authorize the use and release of their health records; 3. expect hospitals, third-party payers, healthcare providers, and healthcare clearinghouses to safeguard their health information; 4. request an accounting of all disclosures of their health information; 5. expect that only information that is reasonably necessary to satisfy the reason for the disclosure is released; 6. examine as well as obtain a copy of their health records and request corrections to documentation
