Abstract	The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) of 1996 is a foundational regulatory framework designed to protect patient information within the healthcare industry in the United States. With the increasing digitalization of healthcare records and the proliferation of electronic health information exchange, HIPAA has become more relevant than ever in ensuring that sensitive patient data is handled with the highest degree of confidentiality, integrity, and security. This paper examines the key provisions of HIPAA, focusing on its guidelines for the privacy and security of healthcare data, including its implications for healthcare providers, business associates, and patients. Furthermore, the paper explores the challenges of compliance, the role of HIPAA in the digital age, and the future of healthcare privacy in light of technological advances.
