Health Medical Homework Help

Post University Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Discussion

 

I’m working on a health & medical discussion question and need an explanation and answer to help me learn.

Describe HIPAA in detail. What does HIPAA stand for? What is its purpose? How do HIPAA laws help protect the privacy and security of patient information? Explain the difference between the HIPAA Security Rule and the HIPAA Privacy Rule. What are some things that you can do in an office to help maintain HIPAA regulations both electronically and with paper records?
