HIPAA is a U.S. federal regulation for keeping healthcare information safe. It focuses on protecting personal health details, like names, dates of birth, and medical conditions. While using healthcare data is important for improving patient care, following HIPAA rules can be a bit tricky. The main goal of HIPAA is to set smart practices for handling electronic health data. It has specific rules, like the Security Rule and Breach Notification Rule, to guide organisations on the best ways to collect, store, and share this information. If you work with health data that could identify someone in the U.S., it’s wise to think it falls under HIPAA rules. Even with new technologies like wearables or smart devices, if they involve health info, they’re likely covered by HIPAA. VCDoctor makes HIPAA compliance easy for healthcare providers as well as healthcare-related businesses. We specialise in HIPAA rules, offering tailored solutions for collecting, storing, and sharing electronic health data.
