Question

Draft a testimony transcript advocating for or against the HIPAA policy, including any recommendations to improve the policy. Direct the testimony toward an appropriate policymaking body (e.g., a Senate committee).

Answer 1

A testimony transcript advocating for the HIPAA policy includes the fact that this policy is required to control the high rate of the breach in personal healthcare information of the PHI. Thus it is a very required policy. The rate of the breach is approximately 10 percent of the PHI of the US population per year currently, (Greevy 2020). The recommendations to improve the policy that can be made to the policymaking body the Senate committee include having more heavy fines for those who breach this policy.
