White Papers for Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA)

Proofpoint Healthcare Privacy Solution

While compliance dates for various HIPAA rules have already passed, many healthcare-related organizations are still working to achieve full compliance with HIPAA. For example, a January 2006 survey of more than 300 healthcare providers and payers found that only about half of healthcare providers reported that they are now compliant with the HIPAA Security standards.

This Proofpoint whitepaper describes—in detail—how Proofpoint’s Healthcare Privacy Solution can help organizations maintain the privacy and security of electronic protected health information (ePHI) over e-communications channels (including SMTP email, HTTP and FTP protocols). Additionally, it highlights the solution’s ability to accurately differentiate between ePHI and “de-identified” health information, in order to properly enforce privacy policies and achieve or improve compliance with guidelines set forth in HIPAA.
