Hippa? Is it better for us or not?Hippa is the acronym for the Health Insurance Portability Act of 1996. Privacy is a major issue for the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (Hippa), primarily due to customer protection. The law sets standards for the storage and confidentiality of personal medical data. The rule was adopted on August 21, 1996 by the 104th United States Congress and signed by Bill Clinton. It was introduced in the House by Bill Archer on March 18, 1996. The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 helps promote high-quality health care services and protect patient confidentiality and other people.

Title II, in turn, aims to standardize electronic transactions and code sets, implement privacy and security requirements, and establish a federal system that assigns unique identifiers to each health care provider. health, insurer and patient. These imperatives would improve our ability to provide the best care and merit our serious efforts. No matter if you think HIPPA is irrelevant or a boon, it has touched all of our lives for the better and the good. Medical confidentiality has had a huge impact between patients and doctors, ensuring complete confidentiality over their health. “Confidentiality ensures that the interests of patients and their caregivers are aligned so that doctors can treat patients privately.” (Chicago Tribune, Cory Franklin). Patients feel open to doctors, which helps them provide them with detailed information, which can be very important for doctors so that they can treat patients in a correct manner.

It will still be a few years before all HIPAA regulations become an integral part of the clinical environment; however, the effort is worth it for our patients. /915.full#sec-2http://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/506841_6http://circ.ahajournals.org/content/108/8/915.fullhttp://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov /pmc/articles/PMC1305898http://articles.chicagotribune.com/2010-01-24/news/1001230205 1 hippa-medical-privacy-medical-redordshttp://www.nursingworld.org/mainmenucategories/ANAmarketplace/ANAperiodicals/OJIN /Tableofcontents/volume102005/No2may05/tpc27ntr16015.html?css=print
