 HIPAA is acronym for ´Health Insurance Portability AND Accountability Act´ ( http://www.hipaa.org/ ) AND dates OF 1996. It IS the result OF efforts by the Clinton
Administration AND congressional healthcare reform proponents TO reform healthcare.
This legislation´s objectives are to diminish
organizational inefficiencies, TO reduce paperwork, AND, make it easier TO detect AND prosecute system abuse. It seems it will be very much
integrated INTO medical information systems, therefore it might be interesting FOR us TO be compliant TO SOME extent IN order FOR BolinOS TO be
used IN the United States.
There ARE a few basic requirements OF HIPAA:
- electronic transactions AND code
sets
- security
- UNIQUE identifiers
- privacy
