Recently amended by the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act in 2009, the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act has been in place for nearly 20 years. HIPPA establishes guidelines for the use of protected health information and sets the fines for information and security breaches caused by health care providers and their business associates. Health care entities are required to provide multiple layers of protection to safeguard patients’ confidential health care information. -Physical protections. Most basically, physical protections require that only approved individuals have access to identifying patient health information. Workstations should have secure receptacles for physical patient information to be shredded. -Technical protections. Access to health information should be protected by a unique username or password. Even after an individual has access to health information, he or she is required to access only health information relevant to his or her job responsibilities. -Policy protections. Every company, whether a business affiliate or care provider, and no matter how large or small, is required to have a standard policy for use and protection of health information.
