Introduction

The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) is a federal law that sets standards for protecting the privacy and security of individually identifiable health information (also known as protected health information or PHI). The HIPAA regulations establish national standards for protecting the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of PHI. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services advises on prerequisites and best practices for HIPAA compliance, while the U.S. The Department of Health and Human Services is in charge of enforcing HIPAA laws.

Under HIPAA, covered entities, such as healthcare providers, health plans, and healthcare clearinghouses, are required to implement administrative, physical, and technical safeguards to protect the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of PHI.
