HIPAA

Home – Hippa HIPAA, the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, is revolutionizing healthcare information management. Any organization that electronically stores or transmits patient information must take enterprise-wide steps to adhere to HIPAA’s sweeping privacy, security and transactions standards. Essentially, HIPAA requires healthcare entities to “re-architect” how they capture, store, and transmit health data and to ensure that they protect personal health information and the privacy rights of patients.

Does Amromed LLC falls under HIPAA rules? Under HIPAA privacy rules, “Amromed LLC” falls under the extension of Business Associate. A Business Associate (BA) is any person(s) or entity which performs a function or activity on behalf of a Covered Entity (CE) and involves the use or disclosure of Protected Health Information (PHI). Amromed LLC considers the HIPAA regulations a call to revolutionize its overall processes and aggressively move towards a more secure deployment of electronically transmitted healthcare information.
