- 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.
