The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) mandates protecting sensitive patient health information. It deploys standards to ensure individuals understand and control how their protected health information is used. As such, organizations are responsible for ensuring electronically protected health information maintains its confidentiality, integrity and availability at all times.
