HIPAA
The 1996 Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) mandates how healthcare organizations store and transmit patients’ health information. Two HIPAA rules impact the IT systems and software used by healthcare organizations: 1) The Privacy Rule and 2) The Security Rule.
The Privacy Rule establishes minimum standards with which healthcare providers must comply to safeguard the privacy of patient information. The Rule also confers the rights of patients to access and amend their health information, and to obtain a record of when and why their Protected Health Information (PHI) was shared with others.
The Security Rule requires that healthcare providers take specific administrative, physical, and technical steps to manage Electronic Protected Health Information (ePHI). Some of the basic security requirements include, but are not limited to:
- Adopting policies and procedures to protect the security of patient and enrollee information
- Developing and implementing data access control procedures
- Implementing technical mechanisms to prevent unauthorized access
- Establishing a reporting and response system for confidentiality violations
HIPAA requirements are designed to be technology-neutral and scalable. Since many of the requirements relate to policies and procedures, many providers achieve compliance with customized solutions that address a host of factors unique to their organization. Thus, the IT systems and software used must be flexible, configurable, customizable, and scalable so that the organization can realize compliance without major disruption to established processes.
