HIPAA establishes national standards to protect individuals' medical records and other personal health information. It gives patients more control over their health information and sets boundaries on how health records can be used and shared. Covered entities like health plans and healthcare providers must implement appropriate administrative, physical, and technical safeguards to secure protected health information. This includes conducting risk analyses, limiting access to authorized users, tracking access to records, training employees, and establishing security incident response plans and contingency plans to backup data and ensure business continuity.
