HIPPA Compliance

What is HIPAA Compliance?

The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) was enacted in 1996 to provide individuals dealing with the Healthcare industry with a higher level of trust with the organization. The main objective of the act is to provide clients dealing with an organization a higher level of privacy. This is done through many procedural items that you can read in great detail at: http://aspe.hhs.gov/admnsimp/ or an more detailed overview at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HIPAA
