Answer to Question 1

1
Rationale: The key concern about human subjects in health care research is that all subjects, irrespective of their age, are protected from the researcher getting access to their confidential information before disclosing health information to them. A signed authorization form for research is valid only for a specific research study, not for future projects. Authorization is not required when the researcher obtains appropriate documentation that an institutional review board or a privacy board has granted a waiver or alteration of authorization requirements. Authorization is also not required once information has been de-identified according to Privacy Rule standards.

Answer to Question 2

2
Rationale: The client registration system is critical to the effective operation of many other systems within the health care setting. This system is used to collect and store client identification and demographic data that are verified and updated at the time of each visit. For this reason, these may also be known as admission/discharge/transfer (ADT) systems.
