Privacy Policies on your Website

We recently held a seminar on the new HIPAA requirements in your office.  One of the rules that we brought up was the requirement to have your privacy policy available to your patients on your website.  Also, make sure if you are collecting any patient information on your website, that you include your privacy policy about how you will handle that information.  Here is an article about website privacy policies in general.  These are just general guidelines not necessarily linked to health privacy.  These are some good guidelines to follow when thinking about patient privacy and your website.
