As part of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services' (DHHS) comprehensive plan to continue educating the research community about the HIPAA Privacy Rule, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ), agencies within the DHHS, are sponsoring a one-day conference that will look at how research has been affected by the Privacy Rule one year after the first compliance date.
