Health care organizations are required to protect information from any unauthorized user access. This necessitates the organization to implement role-based access control. HIPPA regulations require a health care organization to determine and manage which users have access to specific information that is based on the user's function within the organization. Since this is a requirement of HIPPA the organization will have no option but to ensure that they do implement users access for information based on a user’s functions (Miller & Payne, 2016). Privacy is of great concern for HIPPA and HITECH, it is for this reason that health care organizations are required to ensure that they only share the information that is relevant to a particular user. Patient information should not be accessible by all who have access to the system. This will cut down on the intentional or inadvertent viewing, modification, or deleting of files. Roles are created based on the organization structure. This makes it easy to give and restrict access to the system. Each role will have its own access privileges that are minimum requirements for an employee with the specified role. Using HIPPA and HITECH an organization is able to determine the access privileges that it can assign to the different roles that are found in the organization.
The best role-based access that can be implemented is one that is mapped to the organization's structure. This makes it easy to determine the role of a user based on where they are placed within the organization. For the IT staff, it is also easy for them to manage user roles. All users with a particular designation will be limited or granted access for certain information (Lacroix & Hamilton, 2017). The permissions that are granted to an employee are based on their role within the organization. This makes it easy to ensure that an employee will only be allowed to access the information that is necessary for them to perform their duty.

HIPAA And HITECH Regulations Impact on Implementation of Health Care Systems Impact of HIPAA And HITECH Regulations on Health Care Systems for The Future with Mention to State and Federal Differences When the HIPPA act was signed into law many players in the healthcare industry were uncertain of how this would impact their provision of healthcare and obey compliance with HIPPA requirements. HIPPA is mainly focused on the privacy of patient information
, 2005). In addition, the workload on clinicians is often increased past the point of reasonable because it is too intrusive and time consuming to document patient encounters during clinic time (Grabenbauer, Skinner, and Windle, 2011). The amount of information that can accumulate in a patient's record from multiple sources can be daunting and lead to information overload. CDS alerts can be so common that clinicians begin to ignore them.
The other dimension is related but is definitely separate. Some end-users are not only uninformed on how to administer electronic health records, they may actively resist and otherwise undermine the setup and these people need to be identified or even removed if they will not play along. It cannot be denied that, when done properly, electronic health records allows for such a seamless and beautiful result. As such, people that
