Part of the Electronics glossary: A wavelet is a mathematical function useful in digital signal processing and image compression . The use of wavelets for these purposes is a recent development, although the theory is not new. The principles are similar to those of Fourier analysis, which was first developed in the early part of the 19th century. In signal processing, wavelets make it possible to recover weak signals from noise .
Privacy and Security Officer Brief: HIPAA regulations state that you must formally designate a Privacy Officer and a Security Officer. These can be the same person.

What is the difference between âconsentâ and âauthorizationâ under the HIPAA Privacy Rule? The Privacy Rule permits, but does not require, a covered entity voluntarily to obtain patient consent for uses and disclosures of protected health information for treatment, payment, and health care operations. Covered entities that do so have complete discretion to design a process that best suits their needs.
