HIPAA Compliance
Are you tired of the never-ending complexities and constant changes surrounding HIPAA compliance in the healthcare industry? You’re not alone! HIPAA compliance is like a labyrinth, with rules and regulations that seem to shift like quicksand, leaving healthcare organizations and business associates feeling overwhelmed and at risk.
The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) of 1996 is divided into three primary rules: Privacy, Security, and Breach Notification. The rules are not just complex; they are a minefield of legal requirements and potential pitfalls. Failure to navigate this complex terrain can result in severe consequences, including hefty fines, damaged reputation, and legal action.
Privacy 45 CFR 164. 500
The Privacy Rule established protection for protected health information whether in paper or electronic format. The rule defines patient rights that provide some control over their own health information and establishes standards regarding access, use and disclosure.
Security 45 CFR 164.302
The Security Rule established requirements for electronic protected health information. In general, the rule outlines administrative, technical and physical safeguards that must be addressed by covered entities and business associates.
Breach Notification 45 CFR 164.400
The Breach Notification rule established detailed standards requiring covered entities to report breaches to impacted patients.
