HIPAA Compliance: Keeping Your Data Private & Secure
Enacted in 1996, HIPAA, The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, is the primary governing authority responsible for protecting the security and privacy of protected health information (PHI). As HIPAA compliance is essential for any organization dealing with PHI, it is critical for healthcare organizations to take steps to ensure that they are protecting the confidentiality of patients' data. By doing so, not only can they remain compliant with HIPAA regulations, but they can also secure their stature of trust and reliability among their customers.
