HIPAA Compliance

The HIPAA Security Rule establishes national standards to protect individuals’ electronic personal health information that is created, received, used, or maintained by a covered entity. The Security Rule requires appropriate administrative, physical and technical safeguards to ensure the confidentiality, integrity, and security of electronic protected health information.

To help healthcare organizations comply with the Privacy Rule, Security Standards have been created to help organizations protect personally identifiable information (“PII”) and protected health information (“PHI”). These standards encompass administrative procedures, technical security mechanisms and services, and physical safeguards. Security standards compliance and overall HIPAA compliance outlined by the Act is imperative to the ongoing business operations of healthcare companies.

Failure to comply may not only result in regulatory actions, such as fines, but also direct business loss from lawsuits, damage to reputation and degradation of the public’s trust.
