Grading rubric

Criteria and grader verdict (showcase run)

1. States Yes, Northstar is required, under New York Law, to notify affected New York residents, if the data contained in the Northstar health-related product identifiers were transferred to an unauthorized person

   Pass

   Evidence: The response begins “**Yes.**” and explains that “§ 899-aa requires notice to any New York resident whose private information ‘was, or is reasonably believed to have been, accessed or acquired by a person without valid authorization,’” so “an unauthorized transfer ... would require notice to affected New York residents.” Assessment: The criterion asks whether it states Yes, Northstar is required under New York law to notify affected New York residents if the health-related product identifier data were transferred to an unauthorized person; pass.

2. States that the data contained in the Northstar health-related product identifiers is private information

   Pass

   Evidence: The response says New York law treats “private information” to include personal information combined with “medical information,” and concludes that the Northstar health/vital-sign records are “identifiable health-related records” covered by the notice requirement. Assessment: The criterion asks whether it states the data contained in the Northstar health-related product identifiers is private information; pass, as the response clearly characterizes the data as private information under the law.
