Free HIPAA Compliance Checklist

To become HIPAA compliant an organization must implement various controls and safeguards to ensure the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of protected health information (PHI).

This includes developing procedures and policies to meet the Healthcare Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (1996), the HIPAA Privacy Rule (2000), the HIPAA Security Rule (2003), the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act (2009), and the Omnibus Final Rule (2013).

The HIPAA Compliance Checklist is a good starting point. The checklist covers all provisions of the HIPAA Privacy, Security, Omnibus, and Breach Notification Rules and can be downloaded using the form on this page.

The checklist can be quickly used to assess the readiness or abscence of safeguards, policies, and procedures required for HIPAA compliance.
