In 1996 the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) was created, aiming to increase efficiency in healthcare, fight fraud, and simplify health insurance administration, and protect confidentiality in medical records.
The HIPAA Security Rule significantly increases patient security and privacy, and requires healthcare providers to develop and deploy HIPAA compliant security systems.
The law establishes that all electronic personal health information (EPHI) must be stored and protected appropriately. Security gaps resulting from failure to comply with HIPAA may lead to civil suits, and best practices in the field are still evolving.
