Abstract: 

We propose an orthogonal artifact to the HIPAA Privacy Rule's Accounting of Disclosure (AOD). Instead of the patient-centric AOD, we propose a provider-centric "Accounting of Relationships" that aggregates "data flows" involving PHI across all patients. This AOR artifact allows a number of complementary uses in conjunction with the AOD, but also allows meaningful comparisons of PHI data flows across provider institutions.
