Slide notes:Most federal agencies are involved in privacy and security, including the Office of the Inspector General (OIG), Office of Civil Rights (OCR), Federal Trade Commission (FTC), Food and Drug Administration (FDA), Federal Communications Commission (FCC), Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), and Department of Justice (DOJ). The eHealth Exchange, previously the Nationwide Health Information Network, is a network of exchange partners, located across the United States, who securely share clinical information over the Internet using a standardized approach. One hallmark of the eHealth Exchange is the Data Use and Reciprocal Support Agreement (DURSA), which all participants must adhere to and which ensures secure data exchange. In addition, states are very involved in supporting effective privacy and security policies and activities, including creation of new laws for their states and working with other states to create and maintain an environment of secured interstate activities and commerce. 16
