HIPAA Compliance
The Internet poses unique opportunities and challenges
to the healthcare industry. It enables the industry to lower transaction
and operational costs while providing better service to customers,
partners, and physicians. Leveraging an open network such as the
Internet also raises concerns about the privacy of individually
identifiable patient information. To address these security concerns,
the United States Congress passed HIPAA (The Health Insurance Portability
and Accountability Act), a set of standards that simplify electronic
transactions and define minimum requirements for network security.
As healthcare organizations strive to leverage the Internet, they
need to deploy a security architecture to meet government regulations
and ensure the trust of patients.
