What is HIPAA?
The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) is a U.S. federal law that establishes requirements for protecting certain health information and regulating how covered entities and business associates handle protected health information (PHI).
HIPAA's privacy and security requirements are supported by regulations including the Privacy Rule, Security Rule, and Breach Notification Rule.
The HIPAA Security Rule establishes administrative, physical, and technical safeguards for protecting electronic protected health information (ePHI).
For organizations subject to HIPAA, compliance requires an ongoing program for managing security risks, policies, safeguards, workforce responsibilities, documentation, and evidence.
