HIPAA

With more and more patient health information being stored digitally, health care organizations are benefiting from faster, easier and more accurate information sharing, which leads to improved health outcomes and healthier people. Along with these gains in information-sharing efficiency, however, comes the risk that this information can be misused. This growing concern over health data privacy and security makes compliance with The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, commonly known as HIPAA, more important than ever.
