  • Portability of insurance coverage as employees move from one employer to another.
  • Protection of patient-identifiable data from inappropriate disclosure and the type of information that must be protected and the circumstances.
  • Defined policies, analyses, practices, and mechanisms that must be conducted to ensure the privacy of “protected health information” (PHI) is maintained.
  • Government-mandated standards for electronic transactions, code sets and identifiers.
