The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) is also known as the Kennedy-Kassebaum Act.
It is a law in the United States that attempts to protect the security (confidentiality) and privacy of health-case data by establishing and enforcing standards for the many organizations that handle data of that type. [1]
