What is the purpose of The HIPAA Journal?
The purpose of The HIPAA Journal is to promote a strong culture of HIPAA compliance across the healthcare sector by helping organizations, business associates, and staff understand both the regulations and the importance of protecting patient privacy and data security. To do that, it serves as a leading independent source of information and education on HIPAA, providing daily updated news and guidance on regulatory developments, enforcement actions, data breaches, cybersecurity, legal issues, and best practices for compliance, along with expert advice, reference materials, and HIPAA training.
