Modified Systems of Records Notice for State-Provided Physician Records (Renamed Health Professional Service Delivery Data), 09-15-0066; Privacy Act of 1974; System of Records
In accordance with requirements of the Privacy Act of 1974, as amended, the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) is updating an existing system of records maintained by the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), System No. 09-15-0066 ``State-Provided Physician Records for the Application Submission & Processing System.'' The system of records covers service delivery data pertaining to individual health care providers practicing in eligible primary care, mental health, and dental disciplines, which is used by state partners to apply for, and by HRSA to designate, health professional shortage areas and medically underserved areas and populations. The modifications include adding a unique identifier for providers, known as the National Provider Identifier; and changing the system name to ``Health Professional Service Delivery Data Used to Designate Health Professional Shortage Areas (HPSAs) and Medically Underserved Areas and Populations (MUA/Ps).''
Protecting Statutory Conscience Rights in Health Care; Delegations of Authority
The United States has a long history of providing protections in health care for individuals and entities on the basis of religious beliefs or moral convictions. Congress has passed many such laws applicable to the Department of Health and Human Services (``HHS'' or the ``Department'') and the programs or activities it funds or administers, some of which are the subject of existing HHS regulations. This final rule revises existing regulations to ensure vigorous enforcement of Federal conscience and anti-discrimination laws applicable to the Department, its programs, and recipients of HHS funds, and to delegate overall enforcement and compliance responsibility to the Department's Office for Civil Rights (``OCR''). In addition, this final rule clarifies OCR's authority to initiate compliance reviews, conduct investigations, supervise and coordinate compliance by the Department and its components, and use enforcement tools otherwise available in existing regulations to address violations and resolve complaints. In order to ensure that recipients of Federal financial assistance and other Department funds comply with their legal obligations, this final rule requires certain recipients to maintain records; cooperate with OCR's investigations, reviews, or other proceedings; and submit written assurances and certifications of compliance to the Department. The final rule also encourages the recipients of HHS funds to provide notice to individuals and entities about their right to be free from coercion or discrimination on account of religious beliefs or moral convictions.
