HIPAA Security Rule In Effect 4/20

As everyone in the Health Care profession is aware, the HIPAA Security Rule goes into effect on Wednesday 4/20. This rule requires most Health Care Providers implement mechanisms to protect the Integrity, Security, and availability of Electronic Protected Health Information. Basically, if you transmit EPHI in any fashion, you must comply with the Rule.

We have been working with our Health Care Clients to help them become compliant. One of the tools we have been using is a Blog dedicated to the Security Rule. You can view it by Clicking Here. This is another site that contains some good HIPAA information.
