HIPAA Compliance

What is HIPAA?

HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act) is a federal law in the United States that provides data privacy and security provisions for safeguarding medical information. Any organization that handles protected health information (PHI) is required to comply with HIPAA regulations. HIPAA compliance is essential for ensuring the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of PHI.

HIPAA Technical Terms

Understanding technical terms related to HIPAA is critical for complying with the regulation. Here are some important terms to know:

1

Protected Health Information (PHI)

PHI is any individually identifiable health information that is created, received, maintained, or transmitted by a covered entity or business associate. Examples of PHI include medical records, billing information, and health insurance information.

2

Business Associate Agreement (BAA)

A BAA is a written agreement between a covered entity and a business associate that outlines the permitted uses and disclosures of PHI, as well as the responsibilities of each party.

3

Encryption at Rest

Encryption at rest refers to the encryption of data that is stored on a device or server. It is an important security measure for protecting PHI from unauthorized access.

4

Security Rule

The HIPAA Security Rule establishes national standards for protecting electronic PHI (ePHI) by requiring appropriate administrative, physical, and technical safeguards to ensure the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of ePHI.
