An excerpt from the review:
[REVIEWER'S EXPERT OPINION]
Andrea M Jahn, JD (Creighton)
**Purpose** The purpose is to provide a reference tool for healthcare providers implementing privacy programs. This goal is worthy, as privacy programs are mandated by law and reference tools are in high demand for providers of all sizes. The book meets the author's objectives.
**Audience** The authors see this as a reference tool for practitioners, especially those in smaller groups. The authors' credentials are well stated and supported by the quality of this book.
**Features** This book is a good resource for early and secondary stage privacy programs. For those still interested in arguing the purposes of privacy regulations, the book includes history and background information. For those ready to implement or ready to take privacy practices to the second stage, the book offers everything from basic program requirements and training guidelines to sample forms and tips on implementing privacy in the healthcare setting. Each issue covered within the privacy regulations is explained in practical terms.
**Assessment** This book delivers on its promise. It provides a workable resource from the operational perspective -- something not often found in compliance manuals.
