HIPAA is the
United States Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996.
There are two sections to the Act. HIPAA Title I deals with protecting health
insurance coverage for people who lose or change jobs. HIPAA Title II includes
an administrative simplification section which deals with the standardization
of healthcare-related information systems. In the information technology
industries, this section is what most people mean when they refer to HIPAA.
HIPAA establishes mandatory regulations that require extensive changes to the
way that health providers conduct business.
