Question

Which act requires enterprises to guard protected health information and implement policies and procedures to safeguard it?

Answer 1

Answer:

D. HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act)

Explanation:

HIPAA which stands for Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, is an act designed by the US government in 1996 to guard patients' confidential health information and also implement policies and procedures to safeguard it. The act contains the required information and instruction for handling patients' medical health information. The law however gives patients (or their representatives) the right to access these information which as a matter of fact must be made available within 30 days from the day of request.

PS: Not sure why the option D in the question contains ' FTF '. I have taken it to be a typo because without it, the option is in itself complete.
