HIPAA
HIPAA Introduction
The healthcare industry is being targeted by hackers because Electronic Health Records (EHR) are very valuable on the black market. Over 1.6 million people had their information stolen and the estimated cost of these data breaches have cost the healthcare sector more than $6.2 billion dollars. Understandably, patients and Healthcare and HealthTech companies are increasingly anxious about the security of their health data.
The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) passed by congress defines how electronic protected health information (ePHI) needs to be managed and secured. Whether you are a Covered Entity (CE) or a Business Associate (BA) there are policies, procedures and processes you need to comply with. As the regulatory oversight increases on health-related companies maintaining HIPAA compliance is a must.
