HIPAA Challenges for Information Security: Are You Prepared?
Overview At the beginning of the new century, the patchwork of state and federal regulations regarding health information is coming under a set of federal regulations representing a national information infrastructure. Increasingly sophisticated technology presents opportunities in advancing integrated healthcare, improving access and quality of care, and reducing administrative costs. Today, health information is accessed from multiple locations by multiple healthcare providers or health plans. Along with this great promise, however, come increased threats in terms of privacy and security of medical information. HIPAA promotes adoption of lower cost Internet technology. The Internet will probably be the platform of choice in the near future for processing health transactions and communicating information and data. Therefore, information security is of paramount importance to the future of any health care program.
