From the Paper:

"Giving employees the freedom to gain control over their medical records regardless of their employer is one of the greatest benefits of the Health Information Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) (Kibbe, 2005). The HIPAA Act, which formally went into effect in Aril 21, 2005 and concentrates on defining standards for administrative, technical and physical security procedures (Miller, 2006). The HIPAA Act required healthcare organizations to fundamentally re-order and re-define the processes they used for capturing, analyzing, recording and archiving healthcare records. The strategies healthcare organizations are relying on are not incremental, yet more strategic in focus, creating Enterprise Content Management (ECM) frameworks (Secor, Laplante, 2006)."
