What is my responsibility when PHI is important to determining the feasibility of my study proposal, but it is impracticable to contact every patient?
The HIPAA Privacy Rule permits accessing PHI without a HIPAA Research Authorization for purposes preparatory to research (assessing feasibility or formulating hypothesis) as long as: • The review is necessary for preparation. • No PHI is removed. • The PHI accessed is necessary for research. This is a review preparatory to research.
