HIPAA Compliance for Your Website

An Overview of HIPAA Requirements and Standards

HIPAA Compliance for Your Website

HIPAA compliance is a serious matter for any business or organization that handles sensitive patient data. This data, if handled or stored in any way by a business, has to be controlled in very specific ways to protect the confidentiality of patients. Clarity has built HIPAA-compliant websites and applications for hospitals, law firms, and other companies that require it.

Safeguarding the System to Ensure Smooth and Uninterrupted Operation

Information that is protected by HIPAA:

"[i]s created or received by a health care provider, health plan, public health authority, employer, life insurer, school or university, or health care clearinghouse"; and

"[r]elates to the past, present, or future physical or mental health or condition of an individual; the provision of health care to an individual; or the past, present, or future payment for the provision of health care to an individual."

The entity list above (health care provider, health plan, public health authority, employer, life insurer, school or university, or health care clearinghouse) includes a wide variety of different organizations that require HIPAA compliance on their site or HIPAA-compliant portal. This compliance is intimately related to a company's website or online/mobile application, and security should be top-of-mind for these professionals.

Importance of HIPAA

The consequences of not securing sensitive patient data online can be severe. For example, Idaho State University recently settled a HIPAA security case for $400,000 because the school was said to have breached the security of 17,500 individuals' information. This is just one example of the potential impact to a business or other organization that is not compliant with HIPAA standards.
