HIPAA

HIPAA stands for Health insurance portability and accountability act. This was enacted in 1996 by congress and implemented in 1997 and it was mandated in 2003. This act is also known as Kennedy Kassebaum act.

HIPAA insists that any organization that stores or transmits patient information must take enterprise-wide steps to adhere to HIPAA's sweeping privacy, security, and transactions standards. Essentially, HIPAA requires healthcare entities to ensure that they protect personal health information and the privacy rights of patients.
