Description

HIPAA refers to the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996. It imposes standards for the privacy and protection of all electronic health information. HIPAA affects all health-related organizations in the United States, including all health systems, HMOs and health care support services, and so on. One of the general objectives of HIPAA is to protect the health information of individuals against access without proper authorization. The main part of HIPAA is about the secure storage on computer systems and transmission over computer networks of confidential patient data. HIPAA regulations were released in December 2000 and went into effect in April 2003. All covered entities are required to become compliant with HIPAA by April 211, 2005. What encryption technology is used in xTy Technology software? xTy Technology software products support the 256-bit AES Rijndael symmetric key encryption algorithm (FIPS-197) in all data encryption. When enabled, the encryption strength of our products meets (exceeds) the HIPAA data encryption requirement. However, our products do not force the use of encryption. Therefore, if you use our software for the purpose of HIPAA compliance, you must enforce the policy of using encryption as part of the HIPAA compliance implementation.
