The law was originally enacted in 1996, but it has undergone several changes and updates since then, including most recently in 2021. As we move towards 2023, there are a number of issues and developments that organizations must be aware of in order to achieve and maintain HIPAA compliance. One of the most significant ongoing developments in HIPAA compliance is the focus on providing patients with greater access to their medical records. Another area of ongoing development is the regulations surrounding access and coordination of care.
By staying up-to-date with the latest guidance and changes, organizations can ensure that they are properly protecting patient privacy and avoiding potential penalties or enforcement actions related to HIPAA non-compliance.
