HIPAA
Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act
Keeping
your patients PHI (Protected Health Information) is not only
good business sense, it's now the LAW.
HIPAA standards are here. It's the LAW that you protect
ALL PHI from unauthorized access. You could face
severe criminal and/or civil penalties by not complying with
HIPAA regulations. These could include not only fines
of up to $250,000 but even up to 10 years in jail.
The
following is an excerpt from the Federal Register / Vol. 65,
No. 260, Sec. 164.518:
"Examples of appropriate safeguards include requiring
that documents containing protected health information be
shredded prior to disposal . . ."
