The HIPAA compliance act requires the United States Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) to develop standards and requirements for maintenance and transmission of health information that identifies individual patients. HIPAA compliance is an enterprise-wide issue ¬ an information technology issue. There are legal, regulatory, processes, security, and technology aspects to each proposed HIPAA compliance rule that must be carefully evaluated before an organization can begin its implementation plan. Under the HIPAA compliance statutes, violations of the Final Security Rule can result in penalties of up to $100 per person per violation, up to a maximum of $25,000 for violations of a single standard during a calendar year and fines up to $250,000 and 10 years in prison for obtaining or misusing Personal Health Information or intent to "sell, transfer, or use individually identifiable health information for commercial advantage, personal gain, or malicious harm." Obtaining true HIPAA compliance can be a challenge to many organizations but the benefits that come with implementing HIPPA compliance solutions will ensure that your business remains strong.
