HIPAA Privacy

Compliance with the HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act) Privacy standards can place a heavy burden on your healthcare operation’s IT team. The Act establishes an irrevocable duty to operate a secure patient data management system. It sets a high bar for IT security, and establishes accountability, with no exceptions.
Your staff must prevent unauthorized access to patient data, eliminate system vulnerabilities, and establish safeguards. Your IT environment must demonstrate a dedication to patient privacy, patient disclosure authority, and restricted access. Failure to meet HIPAA standards may subject your organization to enforcement actions under Section 45 C.F.R. of HIPAA Privacy & Security Rules.
