In order to stay relevant and adapt to this disruption, healthcare providers need to improve efficiency while offering the best user experience.

Organizations which deal with protected health information (PHI) must have security measures in place and follow them to assure HIPAA Compliance. This HIPAA set of regulations covers every aspect of the healthcare industry while ensuring data protection and fraud prevention.
Any business associate, subcontractor or volunteer who provides – treatment, payment, and operations in healthcare market, or any other business entities have to be compliant to avoid costly penalties.
The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) Privacy, Security, and Breach Notification Rules protect the privacy and security of personal health information and provide individuals with several rights to their health information.
