Health Data Map 1997
In 1997, Dr. Paul Clayton and others on a committee at the National Research Council
published a book [Clayton et al. 1997] that aimed to serve as guidelines for formulating
the HIPAA Privacy Rule. Above is a reproduction from the book; it depicts flows of patient
information about a hypothetical, but typical, patient named Alice. The figure shows
representative, not comprehensive, descriptions of flows of health information between
organizations in a pre-HIPAA era based on ad hoc knowledge of committee members.
