1 HIPAA Security Rule Compliance and Health Care Information Protection How SEA s Solution Suite Ensures HIPAA Security Rule Compliance Legal Notice: This document reflects the understanding of Software Engineering of America of System i security and audit compliance related to the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act. SEA is not in a position to guarantee and assumes no responsibility that the implementation of the recommendations in this whitepaper ensures a complete and full compliance with all aspects of HIPAA regulations. The information is provided as an informational piece. SEA advises users to undertake their own research and advice to satisfy their required level of compliance with the standards. Software Engineering of America 1 HIPAA Compliance
2 Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) What is HIPAA? HIPAA was enacted in 1996 with the goal of establishing a set of laws to protect individuals health information, document the rights of health providers and patients, and secure the overall healthcare system in the United States. Healthcare organizations must follow these regulations to ensure confidential information does not leak and to prevent heavy fines. HIPAA is based on five Titles: I. Health Care Access, Portability, and Renewability II. Preventing Health Care Fraud and Abuse; Administrative Simplification; Medical Liability Reform III. Tax-Related Health Provisions IV. Application and Enforcement of Group Health Plan Requirements V. Revenue Offsets The full electronic HIPAA laws can be obtained from the Government Printing Office website. On February 20, 2003, the Security Rule was issued as part of HIPAA and serves as one of the key components of the overall law. These guidelines cover all electronic health information. The Security Rule is broken down into three requirements: 1. Administrative Safeguards 2. Physical Safeguards 3. Technical Safeguards Each requirement consists of a standard and implementation specifications. The tables on the following pages outline these guidelines. Software Engineering of America 2 HIPAA Compliance
3 ADMINISTRATIVE SAFEGUARDS These policies focus on security measures to manage the protection of health care information. In this section, there are nine standards and under each standard are implementation specifications. These specifications include access authorization, log-in monitoring, protection from malicious software, and many more. These standards comprise 50% of the Security Rule. Sections Standards Implementation Specifications (a)(1) Security Management Process Risk Analysis Risk Management Sanction Policy Information System Activity Review (a)(2) Assigned Security Responsibility (a)(3) Workforce Security Authorization and/or Supervision Workforce Clearance Procedures (a)(4) Information Access Management Termination Procedures Isolating Health care Clearinghouse Function Access Authorization (a)(5) Security Awareness and Training Access Establishment and Modification Security Reminders Protection from Malicious Software Log-In Monitoring Password Management (a)(6) Security Incident Procedures Response and Reporting (a)(7) Contingency Plan Data Backup Plan Disaster Recovery Plan Emergency Mode Operation Plan Testing and Revision Procedure Applications and Data Criticality Analysis (a)(8) Evaluation (b)(1) Business Associate Contracts & Other Arrangements Written Contract or Other Arrangement Software Engineering of America 3 HIPAA Compliance
4 PHYSICAL SAFEGUARDS These standards pertain to the physical means of protecting electronic information and equipment. Examples include proper physical security plans and hardcopy data disposal. Although these requirements are important, SEA solutions cover the electronic security aspect of the Security Rule. Sections Standards Implementation Specifications (a)(1) Facility Access Controls Contingency Operations Facility Security Plan Access Control and Validation Procedures Maintenance Records (b) Workstation Use (c ) Workstation Security (d)(1) Device and Media Controls Disposal Media Re-use Accountability Data Backup and Storage TECHNICAL SAFEGUARDS These guidelines refer to procedures pertaining to protecting technology policies. This section of the Security Rule is made up of five standards consisting of various implementation specifications. These include user identification, encryption, audit controls, and many more. Sections Standards Implementation Specifications (a)(1) Access Control Unique User Identification Emergency Access Procedure Automatic Logoff Encryption and Decryption (b) Audit Controls (c)(1) Integrity Mechanism to Authenticate Electronic Protected Health Information (d) Person or Entity Authentication (e)(1) Transmission Security Integrity Controls Encryption Software Engineering of America 4 HIPAA Compliance
5 Why is HIPAA Important? Because the healthcare industry is gradually transforming its processes into electronic and digital formats for efficiency purposes, a greater need for strong security measures arises. Since information flows through different gateways from insurance companies, to employers, to health care providers, and to other entities, it is important to protect this data stream and be in compliance. Therefore, it is important for IT departments to incorporate secure and reliable mechanisms to protect their data flow networks and ensure compliance. What if I m Not Compliant? Non-compliance of HIPAA may have serious consequences for an organization. Violations of the Act may result in heavy fines up to $250,000, imprisonment for up to ten years, lawsuits, and legal liability issues. Whether an incident is accidental or intentional, your company may still be subject to these lucrative penalties. Software Engineering of America offers a full line of solutions to help your organization stay compliant. Adopting SEA s product suite can help ensure your company will keep medical information secure and reduce the risk of heavy fines.
