HIPAA Compliance
HIPAA, also known as The U.S. Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, mandates that all healthcare organizations comply with strict rules designed to protect the confidentiality and integrity of patient information.
HIPAA requires entities to have safeguards in place to protect against any reasonably anticipated threats or hazards to the security, unauthorized use, or disclosure of the information, and sets severe civil and criminal penalties for non-compliance with these regulations.
Penalties for violation of patient confidentiality standards include monetary fines of up to $25,000, and in some cases imprisonment.
