HIPAA-The health insurance portability and accountability act of 1996 became law on August 21, 1996. Congress passed HIPAA to
Ensure Portability of Health insurance coverage.
Simplify the administration & combat waste, fraud and abuse in health insurance and health care delivery.
Protect the privacy and confidentiality of patient records and any other patient identifiable information in any media

Assign security responsibility
