CHAPTER 1:
Definition
The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) is a federal
law that mandated the development of national standards to guard against the disclosure
of sensitive patient health information without the patient's knowledge or consent. The
HIPAA Privacy Rule was published by the US Department of Health and Human Services
(HHS) to put HIPAA's regulations into practice. Information covered by the Privacy Rule is
protected in part by the HIPAA Security Rule.
According to (1999), the act's goals were to stop healthcare fraud and abuse, set
standards for health information, maintain the confidentiality and privacy of health
information, and ensure that employed people may move their health insurance with them.
Institutions and people that disregard this act's obligations will face repercussions. In this
book, we focus on the HIPAA requirements for health information security and privacy,
which are described as follows:
The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) Rules
include provisions for breach reporting, security, and privacy. The Office for Civil Rights
(OCR) is the Departmental component in charge of implementing. acted, received,
maintained, or transmitted by health care providers who engage in certain electronic
transactions, health transactions, health plans, health care clearinghouses, and their
business operations. and upholding the privacy law. 2020, paragraphs 6-7 (U.S.
Department of Health and Human Services [HHS])
[2]
Many discussions have centered on the necessity of and methods for ensuring the
security and privacy of health information. Complete standards for this section of the act's
implementation were finally finalized, but it took years for those standards to be adopted.
In August 1998, the HIS published a set of proposed regulations pertaining to health
information management.

The distribution of PHI without the patient's knowledge or consent was constrained
by the privacy regulations, which became effective on April 14, 2003. The conditions must
be met by covered entities. Importantly, they must designate a privacy officer, develop
privacy policies, put them into practice, train their staff, and safeguard their electricity.
patient files that are tidy. Because they had to sign paperwork before speaking with their
own healthcare providers, the majority of people are aware of the necessity to inform
patients of their right to privacy.
The code sets and standards for electronic transactions went into force on October
16, 2003. But, if transactions were carried out electronically, they had to adhere to the
necessary federal standards for electronically filed healthcare claims. At the time, the
requirements did not demand electronic transmission. "The Secretary has assigned
responsibility for enforcing the electronic transactions and code sets requirements of the
statute to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS)" (Indian Health Service,
2003, para. 3). The covered entities were required to put security measures in place to
protect the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of PHI when stored and transmitted
electronically as soon as the security requirements took effect on April 21, 2005. The
administrative, physical, and technical safeguards were discussed.
The administrative, physical, and technical safeguards were discussed. The formal
rules and processes that are utilized to monitor and carry out the security measures are
referred to as the administrative safeguards. They provide rules for both staff behavior and
the security of patient data and information. The policies and procedures that must be in
place to restrict physical access to electronic information systems are referred to as the
[5]
physical safeguards. The rules and practices used to restrict access to healthcare data and
information are known as technical safeguards. Whether the data and information are
processed, stored on a machine or other storage medium, at rest, in transit (such as while
being backed up to storage), or distributed across a network, safeguards must be in place
to control access.
