The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) was established, in part, to enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of the US healthcare system. National security standards for electronic healthcare transactions established by HIPAA challenge hospitals and healthcare providers to control access to patients’ health information within IT infrastructures.

While technology allows healthcare agencies to comply with these HIPAA security standards, it also puts the privacy of confidential health information at risk. Spyware and hacking tools are just a few ways that this information can be compromised. Because of these risks, HIPAA incorporated provisions that require healthcare organizations to implement privacy measures and security protections for health information.
