State laws that preempt HIPAA privacy provisions usually cover the following types of information, except for cardiac.
When new federal laws were approved in 1996, there were no clear HIPAA exceptions for emergency cases. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and the Office for Civil Rights (OCR) issued a bulletin in 2014 to make clear how protected health information (PHI) might be utilized in emergency scenarios without breaking the law in response to public health emergencies across the world. Except for therapeutic reasons, the amount of information disclosed must always be "minimum required," and all reasonable steps must be taken to prevent unauthorised use of the patient's information.
Hospitals are exempt from the sanctions and fines usually associated with HIPAA violations, such as using PHI to speak with a patient's family member without authorization, provide a patient with a copy of the entity's privacy notice, or safeguard the patient's complete privacy or confidentiality, for a brief but defined period in the event of a declared public health emergency.
