HIPAA Overview
The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability
Act (HIPAA) of 1996 was signed into law by President
Clinton on August 21, 1996. The intent of HIPAA is to
improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the
healthcare system. To this end, HIPAA establishes the
required use of national standards when performing
electronic business transactions between organizations.
It further requires that all parties using these
transactions for healthcare follow the guidelines
established by national implementation guides.
