One of the goals of the Healthcare Information Portability and Accountability Act, (HIPAA) signed into US law in 1996, was to ease the ability for workers to continue their healthcare insurance coverage when moving from one provider to another, for example, when moving between jobs. HIPAA regulations help ensure the uninterrupted coverage for patients, healthcare organizations needed the ability to share medical records efficiently and reliably.
== Human Resource Procedures ==
To facilitate the efficient transfer of records, the bill set forth standardized terminology and Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) code sets. This standardization further pushed the migration of paper-based records to electronic medical records. But the ease of transferring patient information electronically also increased the risk of private data being inadvertently exposed to unauthorized parties. To address this, legislators developed security mandates to address privacy issues within HIPAA covered entities.
