challenges of exchanging patient health information amongst different providers
in Minnesota. The Minnesota Department of Health funded GPM's project to
analyze legal barriers and develop the toolkit. The toolkit and other health information
privacy resources are available at http://www.health.state.mn.us/e-health/privacy/index.html.
The
toolkit contains the following types of material, organized by subject area:
- Template policies and procedures

The
policy and procedure documents are available in multiple formats that can be
customized and implemented as part of an organization's privacy compliance
efforts. The flow charts and checklists can be used to analyze business
relationships and unique disclosure situations, the template agreements can be
used to guide negotiations and simplify execution, and all of the documents can
be used in workforce training.
