1. As the privacy officer for a covered entity, you are aware that protected health information has been accessed by an unauthorized individual. What type of analysis will you conduct to determine whether it constitutes a "breach" under HIPAA? 2. State laws that exist to prevent healthcare fraud and abuse may be allowed to exist, even if they do provide less protection to patient information than that provided by HIPAA. Using this I example, describe preemption and analyze how it applies to this situation. 1.
