ABSTRACT
The idea is to analyze the stakeholders that took part in the framing and planning of the law and are impacted parties from the increased regulation over privacy and confidentiality stipulations in using healthcare technology. This chapter is broken down into sections including: the introduction and policy window* that brought HIPAA to the forefront, theoretical underpinnings to explain the nature of the law, stakeholder analysis from the bill’s formation and impacts, and, finally, how this is all currently impacting and projected to impact the United States and the world in the future.
