HIPAA Breach Notification Guide
HIPAA breach notification explained: what triggers it, who to notify, the 60-day deadline, required content, and the four-factor risk assessment.
HIPAA — the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act — sets the United States standard for protecting sensitive patient health information. Any organisation that creates, receives, stores or transmits protected health information (PHI), from healthcare providers and health plans to their business associates and software vendors, must put administrative, physical and technical safeguards in place to keep that data confidential, available and secure. The guides in this category break HIPAA down into practical steps: understanding the Privacy, Security and Breach Notification Rules, carrying out a HIPAA risk assessment, writing the required policies and procedures, training your workforce, managing business-associate agreements, and preparing for an audit or investigation. Whether you are standing up your first compliance programme or tightening an existing one, you will find clear, actionable checklists and ready-to-edit template documentation to help you demonstrate compliance faster and with far less guesswork.
