HIPAA outlines several key requirements for the protection of health information:
1. Privacy Rule: Governs the use and disclosure of PHI. 2. Security Rule: Specifies standards for safeguarding electronic PHI (ePHI). 3. Breach Notification Rule: Requires covered entities to notify affected individuals, Health and Human Services (HHS), and sometimes the media in the event of a breach. 4. Enforcement Rule: Contains provisions related to compliance and investigations.
