HIPPA is the Health Insurance Portability Act. President Clinton signed this federal mandate into law during 1996. The main goals of HIPAA are:
- Guarantee health insurance coverage of workers during job transitions
- Protect privacy of patient records
- Promote national, uniform security standards for the secure electronic transmission of health information.
