HIPAA's Privacy Rule is in effect 4/14/03. The Rule will likely change how you collect health information as part of your research. The OCR has prepared a new website with general information, forms and instructions to acquaint you with the new requirements. Please refer to the site: http://www.bumc.bu.edu/hipaa as you prepare your IRB applications. The NIH has also developed a website (http://privacyruleandresearch.nih.gov/) on "Privacy and Research", which is very informative.
