Who Must Comply With HIPAA?
HIPAA applies to a wide range of organizations and individuals in the healthcare ecosystem. If your organization touches Protected Health Information (PHI) in any way, you likely have HIPAA obligations.
Under HIPAA, certain rules have been developed over the years to guard the privacy and security of protected health information and establish the rights of the individuals who are the subject of that information.
Understanding the Seven Core HIPAA Rules
Each rule serves a different purpose in protecting PHI and outlining obligations for covered entities and business associates.
Administration Simplification
Requires covered entities to use standard codes and identifiers and follow operating rules when conducting electronic transactions.
Privacy Rule
Requires safeguards to protect PHI in any format, paper, electronic, and oral, and grants patients the right to keep their information confidential.
Security Rule
Requires covered entities to secure confidential patient information and protect against misuse through administrative, physical, and technical safeguards.
Omnibus Rule
Requires healthcare providers to update their business associate agreements and gives individuals more rights to access their own electronic PHI.
HITECH Act
Incentivized the meaningful use of EHRs and strengthened the privacy and security provisions of HIPAA.
Breach Notification Rule
Requires covered entities and business associates to notify affected individuals if there's a security breach involving PHI, with established reporting guidelines.
Enforcement Rule
Establishes the civil and criminal penalties for violations of HIPAA, making it essential for every organization to maintain a strong, documented compliance program.
