Overview
Ensuring the privacy, security, and confidentiality of health information has been a fundamental principle for the health information (HI) profession throughout its history. HI professionals continue to face the challenge of maintaining the privacy and security of patient information, an effort that grows in complexity as information becomes more and more distributed in electronic systems.
HI professionals understand how regulations such as the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996(HIPAA) and the American Recovery 2009 (ARRA) impact privacy and security.
