HIPAA Compliance
The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) is the law that governs the security of sensitive patient data. To achieve HIPAA compliance, businesses that handle protected health information (PHI) must implement and adhere to physical, network and procedural security measures. HIPAA compliance is required of covered entities (those who provide healthcare treatment, payment, and operations) and business associates (those who have access to patient information and assist with treatment, payment, or operations). Subcontractors and any associated business associates, for example, must also be compliant.
