What is HIPAA Compliance Support?
The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) is a U.S. federal law that establishes requirements for protecting the privacy, security and confidentiality of healthcare information. HIPAA applies to doctors, hospitals, insurance companies and third-party vendors like billing services or IT providers that create, receive, maintain or transmit protected health information (PHI).
HIPAA compliance helps organisations implement safeguards to protect sensitive patient information from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or loss.
HIPAA Compliance Support assists organizations in understanding applicable requirements, assessing compliance gaps, implementing policies and procedures, strengthening security controls and preparing for compliance audits and customer requirements.
A well-implemented HIPAA compliance program helps organizations protect healthcare information, reduce privacy and security risks and build confidence among customers and healthcare partners.
