HIPAA

Health care providers are dedicated to the health and welfare of their patients. The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) was passed to ensure these organizations display the same level of care for their patients’ personal information.

HIPAA requires that IT departments of health care organizations develop and implement effective enterprise-wide security programs, specifically for electronic Protected Health Information (ePHI). In addition to establishing solid data security practices, this rule requires organizations to maintain effective contingency plans for: 

• Permanent loss or corruption of ePHI
• Temporary loss or unavailability of medical records

This rule extends beyond simply having documented recovery procedures, to forcing organizations to audit these procedures regularly and provide sufficient proof that they would be effective during a crisis.
