What is HIPAA ?

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.

What is Protected Health Information (PHI)?

PHI is considered health information like diagnostics, treatment information, prescription information, and medical test results. Identification numbers and demographic information such as birth dates, ethnicity, gender, and contact information fall under HIPAA protection.
