Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA)

Security

The Security standard specifies a series of administrative, technical, and physical security procedures for covered entities to use to assure the confidentiality of electronic protected health information. The standards are delineated into either required or addressable implementation specifications. View the Final Rule.

To help your ASC comply with HIPAA Privacy Requirements, the ASC Association has several resources available:
