Family caregivers in African American and immigrant communities often face unique challenges related to HIPAA regulations.
Language barriers, limited access to culturally competent healthcare providers, and systemic mistrust of medical institutions can make it harder for caregivers to obtain necessary information about their loved one’s care.
In some cases, caregivers may be unaware of their rights under HIPAA or excluded from critical discussions due to misunderstandings about privacy rules.
These challenges can create added stress and hinder effective caregiving.
