What does HIPAA compliant mean?

Hi, soni.

The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, published in 1996, commonly known as HIPAA, is a series of rules for the lawful use and disclosure of protected health information.

Those rules need to be implemented by health care organizations in order to protect the privacy, security, and integrity of protected health information

Some of the protected health information are names, addresses, phone numbers, Social Security numbers, medical records, financial information, and full facial photos...
