HIPAA is the acronym for the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, and the term is also frequently used to refer to the many regulations published under that law. The HIPAA regulations, including the well-known Patient Privacy and Security regulations, are part of the government's ongoing efforts to regulate the healthcare industry.
HIPAA mandates that any organization storing or transmitting patient information must take enterprise-wide measures to comply with HIPAA’s privacy, security, and transaction standards. Essentially, HIPAA requires healthcare entities to protect personal health information and safeguard patient privacy rights.
Under HIPAA’s Privacy Rule, Eminent Health operates as a Business Associate (BA). A Business Associate is any person or entity performing functions or activities on behalf of a Covered Entity (CE) that involve the use or disclosure of Protected Health Information (PHI).
