Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA)

What is HIPAA?

The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 is known by the acronym HIPAA. The phrase is also widely used to refer to the numerous regulations that have been issued under that law since its passage in 1996. The HIPAA rules, which include the widely reported Patient Privacy and Security rules, are a set of laws that show how the US government is attempting to regulate the healthcare sector.


Any organization that maintains or transmits patient data is required by HIPAA to implement enterprise-wide measures to comply with its strict privacy, security, and transactional requirements. In essence, HIPAA mandates that healthcare organizations make sure to safeguard patient privacy rights and personal health information.
