The CDC has prepared a list of useful URL's to help in our efforts
to understand the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability
Act (HIPAA) regulations and their impact on Immunization Registries:

for Health Care Research and Policy at Georgetown University.

Web site for the Massachusetts Health Data Consortium, Inc. Follow the link under "Prepare for HIPAA Compliance," then the link to the "Privacy" section on this page; the first link in this privacy section is to an index of the final rule that has been found to be very useful.

search for page 82798 where they begin. The HTML format version
has a link to a page with the regulation text only, at http://www.aspe.hhs.gov/admnsimp/final/PvcTxt01.htm.
