The healthcare industry is faced with a growing number of regulations mandating how it does business. These regulations seldom come with funding or extended assistance from the regulating agencies, leaving healthcare businesses to implement solutions on their own. The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) is good example. Passed as an effort to protect the privacy of citizens, especially as it is relates to storage or transmission of personal information, the Act has two primary provisions: Privacy and Security. This regulatory brief outlines the objectives of the Act and discusses network solutions, such as MPLS IP VPNs and managed security services that help businesses efficiently and cost-effectively meet compliance requirements.
