From the Health IT.Gov announcement: "A Spanish version of the Model Notices of Privacy Practices (NPP) has been issued by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Office for Civil Rights (OCR) and Office for the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology (ONC). These materials were developed through focus group testing with Spanish speakers. This resource provides patients and health plan subscribers culturally competent information about their rights under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) Privacy Rule.
According to the 2012 American Community Survey conducted by the U.S. Census Bureau, Spanish is the primary language spoken at home by 38.3 million people aged five or older, a figure more than double that of 1990. Health care providers and health plans must give individuals a Notice of Privacy Practices that explains how these entities may use and share their health information and how they can exercise their health privacy rights. HHS has provided separate models for health plans and health care providers to help them better serve their Spanish-speaking patients and plan members."
