A HIPAA Privacy and Breach Notification Assessment provides organizations an organized approach to verify theĀ established national standards to protect individuals’ medical records and other personal health information and applies to health plans, health care clearinghouses, and those health care providers that conduct certain health care transactions electronically. The Rule requires appropriate safeguards to protect the privacy of personal health information, and sets limits and conditions on the uses and disclosures that may be made of such information without patient authorization. The Rule also gives patients rights over their health information, including rights to examine and obtain a copy of their health records, and to request corrections. Zephyr Global’s process of verification uses the robust HIPAA Audit Protocols published with the rule.
