Video Transcript

HIPAA established three rules for safeguarding the privacy and security of patients" medical information. The HIPAA "Privacy Rule" gives patients specific rights regarding their health information. The HIPAA "Security Rule" established standards for safeguarding this information when it is transmitted or stored in electronic form. The HIPAA "Enforcement Rule" set up procedures for investigating potential violations of HIPAA regulations, and established penalties to help enforce compliance. HIPAA was followed by two other acts that related to the privacy and security of health information. In 2013 a final "omnibus rule" officially integrated GINA and HITECH with HIPAA, and created the final health information regulations that are in force today. HIPAA defines "protected health information" (PHI) as any data about a person’s health, their healthcare, or payment for their healthcare.
