HIPAA
Compliance with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) and the corresponding Standards for Privacy of Individually Identifiable Health Information (Privacy Rule) present considerable challenges for organizations. Covered entities such as hospitals, health insurance agencies, and healthcare clearinghouses, must balance properly protecting individuals’ health information with allowing the required level of data to be disclosed in order to provide high quality care.
In addition to maintaining that fine balance, organizations must ensure that compliance-related policies, monitoring processes, and reports are current – addressing continually-evolving HIPAA mandates.
Many organizations are striving to combine compliance and risk management into a single, comprehensive governance, risk, and compliance (GRC) strategy that will:
- Maximize current budget and staff resources
- Take advantage of common controls and processes already in place, tested, and assured
- Identify and incorporate HIPAA compliance risks into the enterprise-wide risk landscape
