The Importance of HIPAA Compliance

The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) introduced many new rules and regulations to benefit the healthcare industry. It requires healthcare organizations to control who has access to health data; before HIPAA, the theft of healthcare data was often used to commit identity theft. This caused insurance costs to spike, which led to increased insurance premiums and reduced efficiency within the healthcare industry.

HIPAA compliance rules restrict who can view health information and who that information can be shared with. Any information disclosed to health plans and healthcare providers is subject to strict security measures. Information created, stored, or transmitted by healthcare providers is also subject to HIPAA regulations. Practices must employ multiple safeguards to safeguard sensitive personal and health information. Complying with HIPAA regulations keeps practices in good standing, fosters trust with patients, and leads to more success over time.

HIPAA enforcement is on the rise. Fines are levied for not addressing all of the required audits, not enforcing policies and procedures, ineffective training, and failure to have Business Associate Agreements in place. If you operate an organization that uses patients’ healthcare data in the Orlando, Miami, or Fort Lauderdale, FL areas, it’s vital that you use the right HIPAA compliance tools to properly secure that information.
