The Privacy and Security Toolkit is an online and interactive resource with seven sections, including an introduction, details on privacy and security under meaningful use, privacy and security under the HITECH Act and ARRA and HIPAA. The toolkit also features guidance and resources, research and data and information for executives and key decision-makers. Users of the toolkits can also contribute to the resource by sharing their own ideas through a submission on the HIMSS website.
