Answer to Question 1

Rights
In many cases, this document was adopted to protect the rights of patients while in the facility; thus the Bill of Rights may vary from state to state, even though they are based on federal guidelines. These rights are to be listed in the facility and placed in a prominent area of the facility or the patient's room.

Answer to Question 2

HIPAA
The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) was developed by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services to provide national standards pertaining to the electronic transmission and communication of medical information between patients, providers, employers, and insurers.
