The previous collections under this program were used to develop and analyze a model privacy notice for Personal Health Records (PHRs). The model privacy notice for PHRs that resulted was voluntarily adopted by several PHR vendors. Due to the success of this information collection, we are proposing to revise the program to use the same focus group and cognitive usability interview testing process for the development of an improved notice of privacy practices.

(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
