                <br/>  
                <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.

                 caring for the patient should be able to access nearly all of the EHR). Maps to normal

                <br/>  
                <br/>  *Usage Note:* The level of protection afforded restricted confidential information is
                 dictated by specially protective organizational or jurisdictional privacy policies, including
