What is HIPAA?

The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) standardized how private health information (PHI) and electronic private health information (ePHI) is managed. The act details how organizations should keep patient information safe and secure, inside and outside healthcare practices.
