Stay compliant with HIPAA
The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) establishes standards for the security and privacy of health data, including electronic protected health information (ePHI). Covered entities and business associates must implement safeguards to limit risk and protect patient data across mobile devices, laptops, and desktops.
What HIPAA protects
Patients have legal rights over their health information. When digitized, this information is called ePHI.
Key patient rights include:
- The right to authorize disclosure of their health information and records.
- The right to request and obtain a copy of their health records.
- The right to request corrections to their records.
The HIPAA Security Rule technical safeguards include:
Access control: Limit ePHI access to authorized users only, with unique IDs and session controls.
Audit controls: Use technical mechanisms to record and examine access and activity in systems containing ePHI.
Integrity: Protect ePHI from improper alteration or destruction and verify data integrity.
Transmission security: Protect ePHI in transit over networks with encryption and secure channels.
