HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act) is a U.S. federal law that sets standards for protecting sensitive patient health information. It ensures that healthcare providers, insurers, and their business associates safeguard Protected Health Information (PHI) from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure.
HIPAA comprises key rules, including the Privacy Rule, Security Rule, and Breach Notification Rule, which define how PHI must be handled, secured, and reported in case of data breaches. Compliance with HIPAA is essential for organizations handling health information to avoid penalties and build trust with patients.
