What is HIPAA and who must comply?
HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act) is a U.S. law that sets standards for protecting sensitive patient health information (PHI). Covered entities like healthcare providers, health plans, and their business associates must comply to ensure PHI confidentiality, integrity, and availability. Stacksync supports these requirements with secure data integration and strict access controls.
