Health law
This includes laws and regulations that govern the organisation, financing and provision of healthcare services.
These include, for example, state and federal laws on the protection of patients' rights, the regulation of healthcare facilities and the licensing of medical staff.
Medical law
Medical law concerns legal issues relating to medical practice and patient treatment. This includes topics such as medical liability, medical ethics, patient rights, consent to medical treatment, medical errors and medical data protection regulations.
Data protection
In the healthcare sector, there are strict regulations to protect the confidentiality of patient information, such as those governed by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) in the USA. These laws stipulate how medical information may be collected, stored, transferred and used.
