Understand Your HIPAA Compliance Options and Reduce Risk
The United States Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) and Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act (HITECH) regulate data collection and use in the Healthcare industry.
These laws and their associated regulatory rules bestow many requirements and responsibilities upon entities covered under the law, ranging from disclosures and storage of data through the types of contracts and responsibilities required for vendor contracts.
In short, these clarified rules are forcing healthcare stakeholders to adjust integrations and seek out Business Associate Agreements.
Address Data Compliance Concerns
Navigating HIPAA requirements can prove challenging when data is collected not just for treatment, but for marketing and other purposes. You might be asking these questions:
- Do the HIPAA rules apply to my data?
- Do other laws and regulations apply?
- When does each apply?
- If there is a breach, who has to be notified?
HIPAA regulations are not always clear or well understood, in particular when it comes to the interaction with marketing technology. We can help.
