HIPAA and HITECH Clause Samples

The HIPAA and HITECH clause establishes the parties' obligations to comply with federal laws governing the privacy and security of protected health information (PHI). It typically requires that any party handling PHI implements safeguards to prevent unauthorized access, use, or disclosure, and may mandate notification procedures in the event of a data breach. This clause ensures that all parties adhere to legal standards for health information, thereby reducing the risk of regulatory penalties and protecting sensitive patient data.
