Chances are, if your organization manages electronic medical records, then you should be HIPAA compliant. HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act), ensures sensitive patient data is protected at all times and organizations have peace of mind knowing their patients’ privacy is secure. As an organization with access to protected health information (PHI), you must abide by all physical, network and process security rules.
As a health care provider with access to protected health information, you are considered a covered entity but the following is a more specific list of who needs to be HIPAA compliant:
- Covered health care providers (doctors, clinics, psychologists, dentists, chiropractors, nursing homes, pharmacies) who manage and maintain electronic patient records. More specifically, any provider of medical or other health care services or supplies who transmits any health information in electronic form.
- Health plans which are considered any individual or group plan that provides or pays the cost of health care (e.g., a health insurance issuer and the Medicare and Medicaid programs).
- Health care clearinghouses are defined as a public or private entity that processes another entity’s health care transactions from a standard format to a non-standard format, or vice versa.
- Business associates (including private sector vendors and third-party administrators) are any organizations engaged with a covered entity to help it carry out its health care activities and functions. Organizations that “maintain and transmit” protected health information on behalf of covered entities are subject to many of those rules as business associates of those covered entities.
