Executives for Health Innovation (EHI) released a report with guidance for protecting non-HIPAA-covered health data held by health tech companies.
In the report, EHI advocated for the adoption of industry-wide self-regulated standards for entities to follow as they await more thorough federal legislation.
“Since the early 2000s, the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) has been the nation’s primary health privacy law, protecting patient data held by the healthcare system – hospitals, doctors, clinics, and health insurers,” EHI stated in a press release.
