What is HIPAA compliance?

HIPAA compliance goes beyond just adhering to the specific rules and regulations outlined in HIPAA; it involves creating a broader culture within healthcare organizations that prioritizes the privacy and security of personal health information (PHI). This cultural approach ensures that the protection of PHI becomes ingrained in the organization's values and practices.

HIPAA compliance involves not only meeting the regulatory requirements but also fostering a mindset that recognizes the ethical responsibility of safeguarding patients' sensitive information. It emphasizes the importance of doing what is right for patients by implementing practices and policies that go above and beyond mere compliance.
