At what point during the course of treatment of a new patient should notice of use and disclosure of health information required under HIPAA be given and why?

A notice of use and disclosure should not be given to a patient unless you've used and disclosed her PHI. This isn't a form everyone gets. If you become aware of a disclosure, your responsibility is to give that info promptly to the patient and commence mitigating any problems caused. While it's not specifically in the law, I would say that any unneccessary delay would reflect badly on the agency responsibile for the disclosure. The Notice of Privacy Practices (NPP) should be given to a patient upon arrival if they're coherent, and they should sign to indicate they've been given a copy. It should (but doesn't always) go without saying that they get to keep the copy of the NPP.
