When does the HIPAA Privacy Rule come into effect?
April 14, 2003. All subjects enrolled in research prior to this date are grandfathered in if they have completed an informed consent form. However, any subjects consented or re-consented after April 14, 2003, under a new or an existing COUHES approved protocol, MUST complete both an informed consent form and an authorization form for the release of health information.
