What is the encryption standard for HIPAA?

The HHS Office of Civil Rights (OCR), which enforces HIPAA rules, does not recommend a specific type of encryption for data at rest. However, the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) recommends protecting PHI data with Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) encryption.

What type of consent is required if a physician uses unencrypted e communication to send PHI?

Where you determine that it is reasonable to use unencrypted e-communication, you must obtain the patients express consent, which includes providing information about the risks and limitations of using unencrypted e-communication (see below).

How should you send an email to outside recipients that contain protected health information?

Do not send emails containing PHI outside of your network. Instead, use secure services like patient portals. However, if you need to send emails, avoid using free Internet-based email services and make sure to encrypt all PHI in both rest and transit.

What are the three common types of encryption used in HIPAA compliant solutions for data at rest?

There are different HIPAA encryption protocols to protect ePHI including the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES-256), Transport Layer Security (TLS), OpenPHP (Pretty Good Privacy), and S/MIME.

What is the appropriate encryption method to use when sending patient information or other sensitive data outside of the organization?

You should be using end-to-end encryption, rather than server-side encryption, to make sure that the only person who can decrypt confidential data is the intended recipient, because theyre the only person with access to the decryption key; with end-to-end encryption, not even the service provider can access encrypted

How do you provide privacy and protect patient confidentiality when using an online electronic health record?

Electronic and physical safeguards encryption software on any devices you use to access or share electronic records including USB keys and smartphones. In addition to the use of encryption software, computers and devices should be appropriately protected using physical and electronic measures.

Does HIPAA require 256-bit encryption?

Once again, the Office of Civil Rights (OCR) does not prescribe a specific type of encryption to use; however, the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) recommends the use of Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) 128, 192, or 256-bit encryption, OpenPGP, and S/MIME.

Can doctors use Gmail?

If you work in an organization that must meet HIPAA regulations, using the free version of Gmail would not be a safe option. You may incur penalties from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, and with the free version, a third party is scanning your patients PHI without their consent or knowledge.
