The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) required the creation of a Privacy Rule for identifiable health information. Except as otherwise permitted, the Privacy Rule requires that a human research subject “authorize” the use or disclosure of the human research subject's "protected health information" to be used in research.
