HIPAA/HITECH Act Compliance
Do your safeguards need a check-up?
On February 17, 2010 the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health (HITECH) Act was passed changing the landscape of the healthcare industry dramatically. Incentives, sanctions and penalties regarding non-compliance with the security and privacy of electronic protected health information were implemented for healthcare providers and their business associates.
The HITECH Act requires administrative, physical and technical safeguards in each covered entity and business associate.
The HITECH Act has established new provisions for the safeguarding of Protected Healthcare Information (PHI) by healthcare organizations (covered entities) and business associates. Organizations required to comply with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) are subject to new regulations issued by the HHS for breach notification.
