Abstract
The Health Insurance Portability & Accountability Act (HIPAA) of 1996 was a bipartisan bill introduced by Senators Edward Kennedy and Nancy Kassebaum, and implemented as part of United States law. Its Title II regulated the protection of personal health information, in addition to initiating standardization to achieve medical transaction uniformity. Later in 2009, the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health (HITECH) Act fixed implementation problems with HIPAA.
