HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act) is a crucial legislation that intends to protect patient information and secure their rights. Non-adherence to HIPAA may result in reputational damage, penalties, and hefty fines. For instance, Montefiore Medical Center paid a fine of $4,75,000 in 2024 as the firm failed to conduct a comprehensive risk analysis, review records of information system activity, and so on.
