(Redirected from HITECH Act) The Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act, abbreviated HITECH Act, was enacted under Title XIII of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Pub.L. 111â5).
Many of the HITECH Act 's requirements become effective 12 months from the date of enactment, but there are other effective dates that operate on a different schedule. We will not cover the various effective dates because other resources available on the Internet capture this information in detail (see the Appendix).f it fails to do so then the HITECH definition will control. Under the HITECH Act unsecured PHI essentially means unencrypted PHI.. In general, the Act requires that patients be notified of any unsecured breach. If a breach impacts 500 patients or more then HHS must also be notified.
