HIPAA Requirements for Safeguarding Protected Health Information

HIPAA

Being in compliance with HIPAA involves not only ensuring you provide the appropriate patient rights and controls on your uses and disclosures of protected health information, but also that you ensure you have the proper policies, procedures, and documentation in place. If audited or the subject of a compliance review you will be required to show the government you have performed the appropriate assessment of the risk to the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of Protected Health Information and how you addressed all required security safeguards.
