| <strong>Overview</strong>
| | #REDIRECT [[LII:HIPAA Compliance: An Introduction]] |
| | |
| In the medical/healthcare industry there are two overriding regulatory compliance considerations: CLIA and HIPAA. CLIA is the set of [http://www.ecfr.gov/cgi-bin/text-idx?SID=1248e3189da5e5f936e55315402bc38b Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments of 1988], which are United States federal regulatory standards that apply to all clinical laboratory testing performed on humans in the United States, except clinical trials and basic research. This course is about The <strong>Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996</strong> ([https://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/PLAW-104publ191/content-detail.html HIPAA; Pub.L. 104–191, 110 Stat. 1936], enacted August 21, 1996), enacted by the United States Congress and signed into law in 1996.

| Whereas CLIA has to do with standards in clinical testing, HIPAA is concerned with protecting patients’ personal information – rigorously and effectively.

| <strong>Privacy and Security</strong>
| |
| | |
| There are two main areas of HIPAA regulations and standards: Privacy and Security. Both apply to all covered entities (we’ll define those in [[LII:HIPAA Compliance - LII 007 02. Who Needs to Comply?|Lesson 2]]) and are related, but have slightly different emphases.
