The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) was passed in 1998 to provide clear legal guidance for the handling of medical records. The HIPAA Act outlines privacy standards for those directly involved with the healthcare process in the United States and the industries that support them. The HIPAA Act was passed with the intention of protecting the medical records of patients that were stored in multiple locations as a result of the healthcare boom. As the options for care expanded, the federal government believed that the patients’ right to privacy should be protected.
The HIPAA Act was designed to do just that, to protect medical records from those who are not actively involved in a patient’s care. Personal information involving a person’s health is a very private matter and patients deserve to have that right to privacy respected. Healthcare providers, supporting industries and business associates of those entities are required to protect patient data under HIPAA. Medically sensitive information about patients is to be kept confidential and accessed only as required.
