The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) recently released a joint publication that provides guidance and practical advice to all entities that collect, share, or use consumer information.

Collecting, Using, or Sharing Consumer Health Information gathers all of the various legal obligations in one place and focuses on four primary sources: HHS’ Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA); HHS’ HIPAA Privacy, Security, and Breach Notification Rules; the FTC Act; and the FTC’s Health Breach Notification Rule.
