HIPAA Compliance Checklist

HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act) compliance refers to the adherence of healthcare organizations, professionals, and other entities to the regulations outlined in the HIPAA legislation. HIPAA is a federal law enacted in the United States in 1996 to protect the privacy and security of individuals’ health information.

The primary purpose of HIPAA is to establish national standards for safeguarding individuals’ protected health information (PHI) while ensuring the seamless flow of healthcare information.
