5 HIPAA Technical Safeguard Standards

Technical safeguards are becoming increasingly more important due to the technological advancements in the healthcare industry today. As technology improves, new security challenges emerge. Healthcare organizations are now faced with the challenge of protecting electronic protected health information (EPHI) from both internal and external risks. To reduce risks to these health records, covered entities must implement technical safeguards. LINKS: ____________________________________________ https://etactics.com/blog/hipaa-secur... ___________________________________________ The Security Rule defines technical safeguards as “the technology and the policy and procedures for its use that protect electronic protected health information and control access to it.” The first standard under the technical safeguards is access control. It is defined as the ability or the means necessary to read, write, modify, or communicate data/information. Access controls provide users with rights and/or privileges to access and perform functions using information systems, applications, programs, or files. Access controls should enable authorized users to access the minimum necessary information needed to perform job functions. Four implementation specifications are associated with the Access Controls standard: 1. Unique User Identification 2. Emergency Access Procedure 3. Automatic Logoff 4. Encryption and Decryption The next standard in the technical safeguards section is integrity. Integrity is defined as “the property that data or information have not been altered or destroyed in an unauthorized manner.” Protecting the integrity of EPHI is a primary goal of the Security Rule. The Integrity standard requires a covered entity to: “Implement policies and procedures to protect ePHI from improper alteration or destruction.” There is one addressable implementation specification in the Integrity standard. 1. Mechanism to authenticate electronic protected health information The Person or Entity Authentication standard has no implementation specifications. This standard requires a covered entity to: “Implement procedures to verify that a person or entity seeking access to electronic protected health information is the one claimed.” In other words this standard ensures that a person is in fact who he or she claims to be before being allowed access to EPHI. This is accomplished by providing proof of identity through methods such as passwords or PIN. The final standard listed in the Technical Safeguards section is Transmission Security. This standard requires a covered entity to “Implement technical security measures to guard against unauthorized access to electronic protected health information that is being transmitted over an electronic communications network.” Covered entities must review the current methods used to transmit EPHI in order to determine what security measures need to be implemented. Once these methods of transmission are reviewed, the covered entity must identify the available and appropriate means to protect EPHI as it is transmitted, select appropriate solutions, and document its decisions. This standard has two implementation specifications: 1. Integrity Controls 2.
