HIPAA safeguards protect sensitive health information in the United States. These safeguards include administrative, physical, and technical measures to ensure the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of electronic protected health information (ePHI). Administrative safeguards involve policies and procedures to manage the security of ePHI, while physical safeguards focus on protecting physical access to data storage locations. Technical safeguards entail using technology to control access to and protect ePHI during transmission. These measures aim to prevent unauthorized access, alteration, or disclosure of individuals' health information, ensuring compliance with HIPAA regulations and maintaining patient privacy. https://cchipaa.com/risk-management-plans
