DbProtect and HIPAA Compliance
Source: Application Security
The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), passed by Congress in 1996, is designed to safeguard all forms of personal health information (PHI) to include patient identities, medical records, and health insurance information. By defending the patients' rights to have their health information kept private and provide control over how their PHI data is used and disclosed, HIPAA mandates that all hospitals, health care providers, insurance providers, IT professionals, healthcare clearinghouses, business associates, and other involved parties meet compliance requirements.
