Medical Privacy refers to the protection of patients' personal health information from unauthorized access or disclosure, governed in the U.S. primarily by HIPAA (the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act). It is a critical competency for healthcare administrators, IT staff, and clinicians who must safeguard records while sharing necessary information for treatment and billing. Expertise in medical privacy compliance is often required for roles in healthcare compliance, medical records management, and health IT.
