One of the main goals of HIPAA was to create a more streamlined and efficient healthcare system. To improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the health care system, HIPAA and respective addendums were put in place as national standards/law for electronic health care transactions and code sets, unique health identifiers, and security. HIPAA provisions are Federal law that mandated the adoption of Federal privacy protections for individually identifiable health information. Compliance is required for the HIPAA Security Rule, Privacy Rule and Breach Notification Rules for organizations supporting (creating, storing or transmitting) sensitive healthcare care data.
