Healthcare Organizations
As a healthcare organization that must adhere to the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), protecting Personal Health Information (PHI) is vital. Unauthorized transmission of patient information has resulted not only in fines, but has come at a cost to the organization's reputation.
Federal and State governments have enacted several regulations to ensure consumers’ privacy is protected. The health industry has a vast collection of private client data that is vulnerable to exposure. As part of the recent stimulus packages, the federal government has placed an increased focus on providing patients with an electronic medical record. Safeguarding these records will be a priority in establishing and enforcing security standards to prevent inadvertent loss of patient health information or PHI.
Various organizations are governed by HIPAA including:
- Hospitals
- Health Care Providers
- Health Plans
- Clearinghouses for healthcare
- Public Health Authorities
- Universities with an affiliation to hospitals
- Pharmacies
