EM Lewis presented a policy item recorded in the minutes as "HIPPA" for Clark County. The board voted to develop a HIPAA policy and add it to the employee handbook; the motion was recorded as carried unanimously by Commissioners Sass, Hass, Gjerde, Schlagel and Chairman Knock.
The minutes use the form "HIPPA," which appears to be a typographical error; the board recorded that a county policy addressing health information privacy will be drafted and incorporated into the employee handbook. The minutes do not record a timeline for drafting or final adoption, only the board—s unanimous direction to develop and add the policy.
