HIPAA Compliance Statement

‍

Understanding HIPAA

HIPAA, established in 1996, outlines regulations for safeguarding the privacy and security of vital health data. At its core are the HIPAA Privacy Rule and the HIPAA Security Rule. These standards serve to protect health information, with an emphasis on electronic data. The Security Rule, in particular, facilitates the adoption of new technologies to advance patient care quality without compromising health data privacy. Its flexible design ensures that organizations of various sizes and structures can protect electronic health information effectively.
