Matt Cook stated at the recent House Committee session that the most commented on piece of the new regulations was in regards to privacy. While he made no specific mention of what is to come, he definitely hinted that the proposed rules would be changing in favor of the patient.

I know that new proposed rules regarding the privacy issue were recently submitted to the DOR. These proposed rules removed the videotaping of the entire patient visit and suggested a single still photo upon entering the premises which could be cross referenced with time stamping of purchases in the POS.

These proposed rules were submitted by some of the members of the DOR rule making committee.
