HIPAA is the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act. It is a law in the United States that was created to protect and ensure the privacy of personal health information such as medical records, that health providers have. The Privacy Rule regulates who can have access to Protected Health Information (PHI). It protects the privacy of personal health information and sets limits on how PHI can be used or disclosed without authorization from the patient. It also gives patients the right over their health information, such as the rights to obtain a copy of their medical records and request changes be made, if needed.
These concerns can be addressed with HIPAA compliance training for employees covering topics such as appropriate records handling, proper sharing of information with other staff and friends/family, and only accessing patient information that they are authorized to view. Other safeguards such as passwords and data encryption on computers and mobile devices could also help protect patient health information.
