HIPAA, which stands for the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, is a comprehensive federal law in the United States enacted to safeguard the privacy and security of individuals’ health information.
\nHIPAA sets the standards for the electronic exchange, privacy, and security of health information, aiming to ensure the confidentiality and integrity of sensitive medical data.
\nThe law applies to healthcare providers, health plans, and healthcare clearinghouses, as well as their business associates who handle health information.
\nCompliance with HIPAA involves implementing measures to protect patient privacy, secure electronic health records, and establish protocols for the secure transmission of health information, promoting trust and confidentiality within the healthcare system.<\/span><\/p>\n
