Imagine findings one’s personal health records dumped by health care provider at a old newspaper vendor. Or laptops and desktops containing personal and private information of a dermatology hospital dumped in yards without cleaning of the drives. Many health care entities are recognizing such careless acts that can cause a huge reputation damage and settlements of upwards millions. In the wake of increasing concerns about privacy and security of patient data, The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability (HIPAA) has promulgated standards for all heath care software products.
Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, and Patient Safety and Quality Improvement Act (HIPAA Privacy Rule), are standards that are decried to protect the privacy of individually identifiable health information.
