HIPAA compliance also aims to enhance efficiency for healthcare organizations by facilitating different hospitals to seamlessly exchange electronic medical records remotely, eliminating paperwork.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Who is required to comply with HIPAA regulations?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Everyone who is working with protected health information is required to meet end-to-end HIPAA requirements. There are two categories of users that need to follow HIPAA rules including covered entities and business associates.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Covered Entities<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Covered entities are users that handle protected health information directly such as;<\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li>Healthcare providers (hospitals, clinics, nursing staff, and pharmacies)<\/li>\n<li>Healthcare plan providers (insurance companies and government medical care programs)<\/li>\n<li>Healthcare clearinghouse, these transfer data between providers and healthcare plan provider&#8217;s example include\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/demigos.com\/blog-post\/how-to-develop-custom-medical-billing-software\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">billing services<\/a>).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Business Associates<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Business associates are third-party companies that need to access PHI to perform crucial functions.

Security protocols need to be embraced such as an automatic log-off and using advanced encryption standards. Role-based access control can be used to limit PHI access, keeping information to employees who require them and not everyone.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Activity Monitoring<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Monitoring activity regularly can help identify any suspicious activity that is taking place with your system. It is advised that your medical practice give every user a unique ID through which they can have access to PHI. All login attempts need to be recorded by your system at all times.
