HIPAA Security Risk Analysis: How To Keep Your Business Safe
As a business owner, you are responsible for protecting the confidential information of your patients, clients, and employees.
For organizations handling electronic patient health records, HIPAA compliance is a non-negotiable requirement.
The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) was enacted by the United States Congress in 1996 and signed into law by then President Bill Clinton. The act establishes national standards for the protection of certain health information. HIPAA Compliance requires the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services to set national standards for electronic health care transactions, as well as privacy and security protections for individuals’ healthcare information.
