The federal government takes the protection of health information very seriously. If you or your organization violate HIPAA, you can face large fines or even jail time.
Here is what happened to a few organizations who did not follow the HIPAA compliance requirements:
The University of Washington Medicine has agreed to pay $750,000 to settle charges that it potentially violated the HIPAA Security Rule.
TRIPLE-S will pay $3,500,000 for deficiencies in its HIPAA compliance program.
A former Texas hospital worker has been sentenced to 18 months in federal prison for criminal HIPAA violations.
To prevent this from happening to you, it’s critical that you find a company that thoroughly understands the HIPAA compliant hosting requirements.
