Patient Privacy

What You Need To Know

HIPAA sets forth the standard for ensuring Patient Privacy, and the protection of sensitive patient data. Any company that deals with protected health information (PHI) must ensure that all the required physical, network, and process security measures are in place and strictly followed. The HIPAA Privacy Rule provides guidelines for individuals and organizations: physicians, nursing homes, health insurance companies, Medicare.

The HIPAA Security Rule defines the requirements to continuously secure electronic protected health information (EPHI) as it moves through the healthcare system. Healthcare organizations, including providers, payers, and clearinghouses must protect EPHI. InfoSight Managed Network Security solutions enforce administrative procedures, technical security mechanisms, services, and physical safeguards to ensure compliance with the HIPAA Patient Privacy rules.
