The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) was enacted in 1996. Organizations that must comply with HIPAA include:
HIPAA compliance requirements consist of a set of technical safeguards to secure the privacy of Protected Health Information (PHI) and ePHI (electronic PHI). Your ability to comply effectively with these safeguards is largely dependent on your network infrastructure. Technical safeguards mandated by HIPAA include:
HIPAA compliant data transfer ensures the secure transmission of sensitive healthcare information, adhering to strict privacy regulations. With encryption and access controls, it safeguards patient data during transfers between authorized parties.

There are three central HIPAA compliance rules:.
HIPAA Privacy Rule – This addresses the risk of PHI being compromised and requires appropriate safeguards to be put in place to protect individuals’ privacy. It also defines limits and conditions on the use and disclosure of individuals’ PHI without their authorization. Individuals also have the right to examine and obtain a copy of their PHI, request corrections, and direct the transmission of ePHI to a third party.
HIPAA Security Rule – This rule focuses on maintaining standards to protect individuals’ ePHI held by covered entities. It requires entities to establish administrative, physical, and technical safeguards to protect the confidentiality, integrity, and security of ePHI.
Breach Notification Rule – This rule requires covered entities to notify patients and other relevant parties in the event of unauthorized use or disclosure of ePHI that compromises its privacy and security. Entities must notify relevant parties of a breach within 60 days of its occurrence. This rule applies even if the entity is unsure whether the ePHI has been compromised. Depending on the size of the breach, relevant parties can include a mainstream media outlet and the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS).
The following are some of the most common HIPAA violations:
