The American Medical Association has created a resource for physicians to understand the HIPAA Privacy and Security Rules and their changes as a result of the 2009 economic stimulus package. 

This resource outlines new requirements:

1. Protection of patient information;
2. How to comply with patients’ requests to access their information; and
3. Administrative protections physicians must have in place.

It also provides the compliance schedule and all relevant compliance deadlines.
