3. Gaining permission from the patients to use the data and discussing who will receive it

Rationale 1: The researcher should not discuss the data with the patients' nurses. To do so would violate HIPAA regulations.
Rationale 2: The researcher should not review the patients' medical records without the patients' permission to do so.
Rationale 3: The HIPAA privacy regulation impacts nursing research in three ways: data access, data creation, and data disclosure. Within data creation, any protected health information obtained is covered by HIPAA and the research is bound by HIPAA regulations. The researcher must obtain permission from the patient to use the data, including who is going to receive it.
Rationale 4: The researcher should not discuss the data with the patients' health care providers.
