HIPAA Security Compliance
What is HIPAA?
HIPAA, the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, is designed to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the health care system and reduce the incidence of fraud. The focus of this regulation requires, among other things, the secure electronic transfer of patients' health care information. Recognizing the inherent risks of not securing this information, HIPAA contains regulations for information privacy and information systems security. As of April 2006, all healthcare providers must comply with this law.
How do companies comply with HIPAA?
Compliance with the wide-ranging HIPAA regulations requires a comprehensive effort within an organization, including the development of many internal policies, ongoing training, and audits of personnel and practices.
Data encryption is the best way to comply with HIPAA's Security Rule regarding effective network security. HIPAA-compliant networks are those where data is protected throughout the network.
