What is HIPAA?

HIPAA compliance is a key component of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA), a federal law focused on safeguarding sensitive patient health information from unauthorized disclosure. HIPAA establishes essential privacy and security standards for the medical data of U.S. citizens.

HIPAA Scope

The standard applies to covered entities and their business associates, including healthcare clearinghouses, employer-sponsored health plans, health insurers, and medical service providers that handle patient health information (PHI) in digital form.

HIPAA Regulations

HIPAA is divided into multiple rules: the Security Rule, Privacy Rule, Transactions and Code Sets (TCS) Rule, Unique Identifiers Rule, Breach Notification Rule, and Omnibus Final Rule. The Security Rule specifically mandates three types of safeguards—Administrative, Physical, and Technical—and imposes other organizational requirements that align with the Privacy Rule.

The Office for Civil Rights (OCR) clarifies that covered entities and business associates do not need to follow a single "risk analysis methodology" due to their varying sizes, resources, and complexities.

OCR identifies main objectives of a HIPAA Risk Assessment as follows:

Identify all PHI created, received, stored, or transmitted by your organization, including PHI shared with third-party consultants, vendors, and business associates.
Identify human, natural, and environmental threats to PHI, including both intentional and unintentional human threats.
Evaluate the current protections in place against these threats and assess the likelihood of a "reasonably anticipated" breach.
Assess the potential impact of a PHI breach and assign each identified risk a level based on the probability and impact.
Document findings and implement appropriate measures, policies, and procedures. All risk assessments, rationales, and policy documents must be retained for a minimum of six years.
