HIPAA
Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act
Keeping your patients PHI (Protected Health
Information) is not only good business sense, it's now the LAW.
HIPAA standards are here. It's the LAW that you protect ALL PHI from unauthorized
access. You could face severe criminal and/or civil penalties by not complying
with HIPAA regulations. These could include not only fines of up to $250,000 but
even up to 10 years in jail.
The following is an excerpt from the Federal Register / Vol.
65, No. 260, Sec. 164.518:
"Examples of appropriate safeguards include
requiring that documents containing
protected health information be shredded prior to disposal . .
."
