Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, commonly known as HIPAA, was introduced in 1996 and set a standard for patient data protection. Companies must follow a series of regulatory standards if they handle sensitive Protected Health Information (PHI). All healthcare facilities, including hospitals, doctor offices, and clinics, must choose to outsource their confidential files to HIPAA-compliant companies.
