HIPAA Compliance

Serving healthcare practitioners and organizations.

Compliance laws are built to safeguard the interests of people, whether for safekeeping information or raising competency standards. Likewise, on the medical side, compliance matters too. 

In the medical field, Compliance laws such as HIPAA are placed to regulate the spread of confidential information. Modern technology makes it easy to steal data from medical facilities and medical practitioners. Mishandling this confidential data and causing a data leak is also grounds for a penalty, plus potential criminal charges, depending on the severity of the data leaked.

HIPAA stands for the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act and is a U.S. federal law enacted in 1996 as an attempt at incremental healthcare reform. It was subsequently revised in 2009 with the ARRA/HITECH Act and again in 2013 with the Omnibus Rule.
