<p><b>New page</b></p><div>2. Definition of Implementation Specification<br />
<br />
The term implementation specification is defined at 45 CFR 160.103 of the HIPAA Rules as ``specific requirements or instructions for implementing a standard.'' <br />
<br />
We believe that this definition conveys accurately the meaning of the term as used in the HITECH Act, which seeks consistency between these implementation specifications and those adopted under HIPAA. <br />
<br />
Moreover, the concept it applies complements the definition of standard adopted in this interim final rule. <br />
<br />
Additionally, this definition is straightforward, easy to understand, and is otherwise consistent with our goals. <br />
<br />
We have therefore adopted the HIPAA regulatory definition of implementation specification without modification.</div>DavidWhitten
