About HIPAA

HIPAA was established to create national standards for how health information must be protected especially when being transmitted electronically. The HIPAA Standards is composed of rules that a business has to meet continuously in order to achieve and stay in compliance.

PRIVACY RULE

Patients’ rights to access PHI, health care providers’ rights to deny access to PHI, the contents of Use and Disclosure forms and Notices of Privacy Practices, and more.

SECURITY RULE

Sets national standards for the secure maintenance, transmission, and handling of PHI. This outlines standards for the integrity and safety of ePHI, including physical, administrative, and technical safeguards that must be in place in any health care organization.

BREACH NOTIFICATION RULE

Organizations are required to report all breaches (Minor Breaches and Meaningful Breaches), regardless of size to Health and Human Services, but the specific protocols for reporting change depending on the type of breach.

OMNIBUS RULE

Must conduct a risk assessment for every breach that involves unsecured PHI. Business associates also are required to report any breach of unsecured PHI to the covered entity, which is responsible for conducting the risk assessment.
