View comments submitted by C-TAC in response to proposed modifications to the HIPAA Privacy Rule to support, and remove barriers to, coordinated care and individual engagement. C-TAC expressed strong support for multiple provisions in the rule, including steps that allow individuals to better access their health information and changes to facilitate value-based health care by modifying provisions that currently limit care coordination and case management communications. C-TAC did express concern that, while this rule allows more community organizations to access protected health information, it does not address the need for financial or capital investment for information management systems to facilitate doing so.
