Haha, a 'top secret' security clearance for all workforce members? That's just ridiculous. HIPAA has strict requirements, but that's taking it way too far!

Option B seems a bit extreme. While HIPAA does require reasonable safeguards, redesigning entire offices and workspaces is likely not a universal requirement.

I also believe option C is the correct statement, as it ensures that only the necessary information is disclosed to accomplish the intended purpose.

I agree with Hana, option C makes the most sense because it aligns with the principle of minimum necessary.

I think option C is the correct answer. HIPAA's privacy rule requires providers and payers to develop methods for disclosing the minimum amount of protected information necessary.
