Compliance and licensing notes for Delaware practices
Delaware's data breach notification statute (6 Del. C. 12B-100) and the state's medical records confidentiality rules layer on top of HIPAA, with added consent protections for mental health records. Staffing For Doctors virtual staff sign DE-compliant BAAs and are trained on the state's records and breach rules before placement.
