CHI Launches New Tool to Help Health Tech Entrepreneurs Navigate HIPAA
Everything about the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA), even its name, seems unwieldy and complex, especially for health tech startups. First time health tech entrepreneurs usually begin rethinking their life choices after we start discussing "covered entities" and "business associates," but in reality you can comply with the law relatively easily once you know the rules. That's why we built the HIPAA Check tool to help health tech entrepreneurs understand whether they need to comply with HIPAA and, if so, how to comply.
