Implementing Security Best Practices for HIPAA With Pervasive.SQL
Overview In 1996, the U.S. Congress passed HIPAA, which was enacted to improve healthcare delivery by adopting national standards for electronic healthcare transactions. At the same time, it was recognized that advances in electronic technology could erode the privacy of health information. Consequently, additional HIPAA provisions were included to protect the privacy and security of individually identifiable protected health information (hereinafter called PHI). Six years since its enactment, all healthcare covered entities (hereinafter called CEs) that deal with PHI face HIPAA's multi-phased implementation requirements. HIPAA has necessitated sweeping changes in policies, procedures and upgrades to healthcare transaction, administrative and clinical information systems. The purpose of this paper is to provide security implementation and planning guidelines for the deployment of applications built on Pervasive.SQL.
