CNS NEWS.com: "HHS SAYS YOU SHOULD KNOW WHO'S BEEN LOOKING AT YOUR ELECTRONIC HEALTH RECORDS" by Susan Jones (SNIPPET: "Under the proposed rule, people would be able to request an "access report," which would name the particular persons who viewed their electronic health records. That includes access for purposes of medical treatment and billing. While an access report would allow patients to learn if specific persons have accessed their electronic health records, it would not explain the purpose of that access.") (June 1, 2011)

“Role of Health-Law ‘Navigators’ Under Fire”
By LOUISE RADNOFSKY
SNIPPET: “Lawmakers across the country are tussling over the Obama administration’s plans to create a small army of assistants to guide millions of Americans as they sign up for new health-insurance options available this fall.”
SNIPPET: “The Republican-led House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform is planning to grill the Department of Health and Human Services about the program in a hearing Tuesday. At a private briefing with federal officials last month, committee aides say they were told there would be no criminal background checks for navigators or requirements that they hold a high-school diploma.
“Because navigators and assisters will have access to personal and sensitive information such as Social Security numbers and tax returns, we believe they should be held to the same hiring standard as U.S. Census and [Internal Revenue Service] employees,” who get Federal Bureau of Investigation background checks, wrote Rep. Darrell Issa (R., Calif.), the chairman of the committee, and two other Republican members in a letter to the department.”
