Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPPA) Privacy Rule

BioPhia Consultant Ed Moore presents a training video as part of the Great Lakes Medical Jumpstart I-CORPS program discussing a key component contained within the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPPA). The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) administers HIPPA and has subsequently issued the HIPPA Privacy Rule.  

The HIPPA Privacy Rule standards address the use and disclosure of individuals’ health information (known as protected health information or PHI) by entities subject to the Privacy Rule. This video describes the various types of PHI, identifies the “entities” subject to the Privacy Rule, and outlines how the overall goal of HIPPA is achieved.
