Overview of HIPAA
The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) is a US federal law designed to protect the privacy and security of health information. HIPAA sets strict requirements for the handling of protected health information (PHI), including its collection, storage, and transmission. Compliance with HIPAA is essential for healthcare providers, insurers, and any organization that handles PHI, ensuring the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of sensitive health data.
