The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA), was enacted to set national standards for healthcare organizations to regulate record keeping and sharing of the public’s medical data. HIPAA consists of regulations which are designed to encourage health care facilities to comply with security and privacy standards to protect personal health information. Failure to comply with HIPAA Compliance carries stiff penalties of up to 10 years in prison and $250,000 in fines.
