For research, we state in our Privacy Notice that we may use or disclose protected health information without pt consent or authorization if our research privacy board (IRB) approves a waiver of authorization for disclosure. So, do we then need to account for those disclosures in the accounting of disclosures? Our team has 2 opinions: 1) YES, because it is a disclosure made without authorization, and not for TPO. 2) No, because the IRB approved the waiver of needing an authorization.
