                        Privacy metadata indicating that a low level of protection is
               required to safeguard personal and healthcare information, which has been altered in such
               a way as to minimize the need for confidentiality protections with some residual risks
               associated with re-linking. The risk of harm to an individual's reputation and sense of
               privacy if disclosed without authorization is considered negligible, and mitigations are
               in place to address reidentification risk.
            <br/>  

                        
                           Usage Note: 
                        
            <br/>  
The level of protection afforded anonymized and pseudonymized, and non-personally identifiable
               information (e.g., a limited data set) is dictated by privacy policies and data use agreements
               intended to engender trust that health information can be used and disclosed with little
               or no risk of re-identification.
                           Example: Personal and healthcare information, which excludes
               16 designated categories of direct identifiers in a HIPAA Limited Data Set. This information
               may be disclosed by HIPAA Covered Entities without patient authorization for a research,
               public health, and operations purposes if conditions are met, which includes obtaining
               a signed data use agreement from the recipient. See 45 CFR Section 164.514.
            <br/>  

                        This metadata indicates that the receiver may have an obligation
               to comply with a data use agreement with the discloser. The discloser may have obligations
               to comply with policies dictating the methods for de-identification.
            <br/>  

                        Confidentiality code total order hierarchy: Low (L) is less protective
               than V, R, N, and M, and subsumes U.

                        Privacy metadata indicating the level of protection required to
               safeguard personal and healthcare information, which if disclosed without authorization,
               would present a moderate risk of harm to an individual's reputation and sense of privacy.
            <br/>  

                        
                           Usage Note: The level of protection afforded moderately confidential
               information is dictated by privacy policies intended to engender trust in a service provider.
               May include publicly available information in jurisdictions that restrict uses of that
               information without the consent of the data subject.
            <br/>  

                        Privacy policies mandating moderate levels of protection, which
               preempt less protective privacy policies. &quot;Moderate&quot; confidentiality policies
               differ from and would be preempted by the prevailing privacy policies mandating the normative
               level of protection for information used in the delivery and management of healthcare.
            <br/>  

                        Confidentiality code total order hierarchy: Moderate (M) is less
               protective than V, R, and N, and subsumes all other protection levels (i.e., L and U).
            <br/>  

                        
                           Examples: Includes personal and health information that an
               individual authorizes to be collected, accessed, used or disclosed to a bank for a health
               credit card or savings account; to health oversight authorities; to a hospital patient
               directory; to worker compensation, disability, property and casualty or life insurers;
               and to personal health record systems, consumer-controlled devices, social media accounts
               and online Apps; or for marketing purposes

               would present a considerable risk of harm to an individual's reputation and sense of privacy.
            <br/>  

                        
                           Usage Note: The level of protection afforded normatively confidential
               information is dictated by the prevailing normative privacy policies, which are intended
               to engender patient trust in their healthcare providers.
            <br/>  

                        Privacy policies mandating normative levels of protection, which
               preempt less protective privacy policies when the information is used in the delivery
               and management of healthcare. May be pre-empted by jurisdictional law (e.g., for public
               health reporting or emergency treatment).
            <br/>  

                        Confidentiality code total order hierarchy: Normal (N) is less
               protective than V and R, and subsumes all other protection levels (i.e., M, L, and U).
            <br/>

               most clinical staff directly caring for the patient should be able to access nearly all
               of the EHR). Maps to normal confidentiality for treatment information but not to ancillary
               care, payment and operations.

               would present a high risk of harm to an individual's reputation and sense of privacy.
            <br/>  

                        
                           Usage Note: The level of protection afforded restricted confidential
               information is dictated by specially protective organizational or jurisdictional privacy
               policies, including at an authorized individual’s request, intended to engender patient
               trust in providers of sensitive services.
            <br/>  

                        Privacy policies mandating additional levels of protection by
               restricting information access preempt less protective privacy policies when the information
               is used in the delivery and management of healthcare. May be pre-empted by jurisdictional
               law (e.g., for public health reporting or emergency treatment).
            <br/>  

                        Confidentiality code total order hierarchy: Restricted (R) is
               less protective than V, and subsumes all other protection levels (i.e., N, M, L, and U).

            <br/>  
Includes information that is additionally protected such as sensitive conditions mental
               health, HIV, substance abuse, domestic violence, child abuse, genetic disease, and reproductive
               health; or sensitive demographic information such as a patient’s standing as an employee
               or a celebrity. May be used to indicate proprietary or classified information that is
               not related to an individual (e.g., secret ingredients in a therapeutic substance; or
               the name of a manufacturer).

               individual without restrictions on its use.
            <br/>  

                        
                           Examples: Includes publicly available information e.g., business
               name, phone, email and physical address.
            <br/>  

                        
                           Usage Note: The authorization to collect, access, use, and
               disclose this information may be stipulated in a contract of adhesion by a data user (e.g.,
               via terms of service or data user privacy policies) in exchange for the data subject's
               use of a service.
            <br/>  

                        This metadata indicates that the receiver has no obligation to
               consider privacy policies other than its own when making access control decisions.

               atypical cicumstances to safeguard potentially damaging or harmful information, which
               if disclosed without authorization, would (1) present an extremely high risk of harm to
               an individual's reputation, sense of privacy, and possibly safety; or (2) impact an individual's
               or organization's legal matters.
            <br/>  

                        
                           Usage Note: The level of protection afforded very restricted
               confidential information is dictated by specially protective privacy or legal policies
               intended to ensure that under atypical circumstances additional protections limit access
               to only those with a high 'need to know' and the information is kept in highest confidence..
            <br/>  

                        Privacy and legal policies mandating the highest level of protection
               by stringently restricting information access, preempt less protective privacy policies
               when the information is used in the delivery and management of healthcare including legal
               proceedings related to healthcare. May be pre-empted by jurisdictional law (e.g., for
               public health reporting or emergency treatment but only under limited circumstances).

                        Confidentiality code total order hierarchy: Very Restricted (V)
               is the highest protection level and subsumes all other protection levels s (i.e., R, N,
