HIPAA : Protecting Patient Privacy
Health and medical-related information ranks among the most sensitive and personal forms of data worldwide, and patients trust healthcare providers to keep that information private and secure.
HIPAA, or the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, is a set of regulations designed to protect the privacy and security of individuals' medical information. HIPAA covers a wide range of health information, including medical records, insurance information, and other sensitive data.
A data breach can result in serious consequences, including identity theft, financial loss, and damage to an individual's reputation.
