A HIPAA Authorization is an individual's signed permission to allow a covered entity to use or disclose the individual's PHI that is described in the authorization for the purpose(s) and to the recipient(s) stated in the authorization. In contrast, an informed consent document is an individual's agreement to participate in the research study and includes a description of the study, anticipated risks and/or benefits, and how the confidentiality of records will be protected, among other things. A HIPAA Authorization can be combined with an informed consent document or other permission to participate in research. If a covered entity obtains or receives a valid HIAA Authorization for its use or disclosure of PHI for research, it may use or disclose the PHI for the research, but the use or disclosure must be consistent with the authorization. What is the difference between HIPAA Authorization, Partial HIPAA Waiver and Full HIPAA Waiver? A Full HIPAA Waiver allows an investigator to use and disclose PHI for a particular research trial or activity without obtaining either a verbal or written authorization from the participants. The criteria for a Waiver or Alteration are as follows: The use or disclosure (not necessarily the research study) involves no more than minimal risk; AND The research could not practicably be conducted with the waiver or alteration; AND The research could not practicably be conducted without access to and use of the PHI. A Partial HIPAA Waiver allows an investigator to obtain, use, and/or disclose PHI for one specified portion of a research trial or activity (e.g., in the course of recruitment) without first obtaining a verbal or written authorization. Authorization is an individual’s signed permission to allow a covered entity to use the individual’s PHI. Anytime subjects will sign a HIPAA Authorization, this selection should be checked. Anytime a Partial HIPAA Waiver is requested, this option should also be checked. What is an Alteration of HIPAA Authorization? The IRB may approve an alteration of the requirements of a written HIPAA Authorization provided the research meets the criteria for waiver or alteration (see above). The most frequent alteration is for verbal HIPAA Authorization when the IRB has also waived the requirement for written consent. At what point in recruitment is HIPAA Authorization needed?
