HIPAA Compliance

What is HIPAA?

The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) of 1996 established a set of security standards used to protect the confidentiality of Personal Health Information (PHI). Recent regulations and mandates from the Department of Health and Human Services apply to HIPAA covered entities and any of their business associates that “access, maintain, retain, modify, record, store, destroy, or otherwise hold, use, or disclose unsecured PHI.”

In addition to protecting medical records, prescription details, and personal information, the standards outlined in HIPAA are meant to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the U.S. healthcare system by encouraging the use of electronic data exchange.
