HIPAA Requirements

In a Nutshell

Clients' personal health information (PHI or ePHI) must be protected both

- at rest (i.e., when it is stored)

and

- in transit (i.e., when transmitted over a network)


If you enter PHI into a computer in any way, then the computer is "in scope" (required to comply with HIPAA regulation), regardless of whether or not the information is permanently stored on the machine.

HIPAA Compliance is a Legal Obligation

What you don't know can hurt you! 

In recent years solo practitioners and small group practices have become much more targeted for enforcement of HIPAA requirements. You are responsible for ensuring the security of PHI of your clients, and for complying with HIPAA requirements. There can be severe financial penalties for breaches of data security, and also for lacking proof of reasonable efforts towards compliance.
