HIPAA stands for “Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act”. It is a federal law that requires the creation of national standards to secure confidential patient health information from getting disclosed without the patient’s consent. The US Department of HHS (Health and Human Services) issued the HIPAA privacy rule to implement the HIPAA requirements to deal with PHI (Protected Health Information).
HIPAA Compliant Software is an app or service for healthcare institutes that include essential security and privacy safeguards to meet HIPAA requirements. It can either help with particular elements of HIPAA compliance or offer a complete solution for each component of HIPAA compliance.
The purpose of building HIPAA compliant software is to offer a framework to help compliance officers ensure all provisions of HIPAA security, breach notification rule, privacy and omnibus rules are satisfied.
