HIPAA Compliance The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) was passed in 1996 to establish national standards to protect individuals’ medical records and other personal health information. The HIPAA Privacy Rule was passed in 2002 to provide safeguarding specifications to protect the privacy of personal health information. The rule regulates the use and disclosure of protected health information (PHI). In addition, the HIPAA Security Rule requires covered entities to secure electronic protected health information (ePHI) through implementation of administrative, technical, and physical security controls. Since the Privacy Rule compliance date (April 2003), the US Dept. of Health and Human Services – Office for Civil Rights (OCR) has received over 130,000 HIPAA complaints and has resolved 96% of the cases. Non-compliance can be a very costly mistake. As of April 21, 2016, the OCR reports settling 33 non-compliant cases resulting in over $33M in penalties. Egenera constantly evaluates all security and privacy capabilities for our cloud operations using industry regulations such as HIPAA, SSAE16 and ISO27001 as a guide. While no cloud provider can instantly make your business (or your clients) HIPAA compliant, Egenera's transparency and use of published policies certainly make it easier. Egenera can help you be HIPAA compliant in the cloud faster, and with less expense.
