HIPAA compliance HIPAA Compliance has been a concern since 1966 when Congress enacted the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) with the goal of improving the efficiency and effectiveness of the health care system. HIPAA, the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act that was passed by Congress in 1996, is the single most significant legislation affecting the health care industry since the creation of the Medicare and Medicaid programs in 1965. HIPAA presents unique and difficult challenges for the security and privacy of protected health information (PHI). The same technology that provides for efficiency and effectiveness in all aspects of health care, from administration and finance to medical diagnosis and treatment provides enormous complexity in managing this electronic information. Acquisition, data entry, transmission, storage and accessibility are complex issues of technology and people. Improvement Technologies, LLC can provide you with education and consulting support.
