HIPAA – Certification Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act

What is HIPAA?

A federal law in the United States called HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act) safeguards the confidentiality, security, and privacy of patient health information.

It establishes stringent guidelines for the handling, storing, sharing, and protection of Protected Health Information (PHI) by healthcare organizations, hospitals, clinics, insurers, and service providers. HIPAA ensures patient data is safe and is not accessed or disclosed without authorized authorization.
