Way back in 1996, the U.S. HHS, or Department of Health and Human Services, implemented HIPAA – The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, starting a new standard of privacy and rules around disclosure of personal health information. This PHI or Protected Health Information, subjects organizations to a new privacy rule that controls to a very finite degree how health information can be used, and details an individual’s rights in a way that had not been done before. By placing power over their personal information back into the hands of patients, the HHS also created a whole new legion of concerns for businesses who work with patient information.

A key goal of HIPAA is to ensure that enough information is provided to healthcare professionals in order to perform accurate care, but that information is not misused by insurance companies or others who may seek to review it. This balancing act attempts to secure the health of individuals while ensuring their privacy, yet in order to be implemented successfully, HIPAA needed to be quite flexible to cover a wide variety of disclosures and uses. The privacy rule also limits the personally identifiable information that can be released to organizations about their employees and also covers any type of healthcare organization that may be transmitting patient information in any electronic form.
