THE HIPAA FRAMEWORK
Four Rules That Govern Healthcare Data
Privacy Rule
Governs the use and disclosure of Protected Health Information (PHI). Requires policies, procedures, and workforce training.
Security Rule
Requires administrative, physical, and technical safeguards to protect electronic PHI (ePHI). This is where IT plays the central role.
Breach Notification Rule
Requires covered entities to notify patients, HHS, and sometimes the media within 60 days of discovering a breach of unsecured PHI.
HITECH Act
Strengthens HIPAA enforcement, increases penalties (up to $1.9M per violation category per year), and extends requirements to Business Associates.
