The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) establishes national standards for protecting sensitive patient health information. Healthcare providers, health plans, healthcare clearinghouses, and their business associates must implement physical, technical, and administrative safeguards to ensure the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of electronic protected health information (ePHI). HIPAA violations can result in fines ranging from $100 to $50,000 per violation, with annual maximums of $1.5 million per category. — Browse 48 verified solutions.
