A HIPAA breach refers to the unauthorized access, use, or disclosure of protected health information (PHI) that compromises the privacy and security of that information. Under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), such breaches must be reported to affected individuals, the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), and in some cases, the media. Organizations must implement safeguards to prevent breaches and must have a response plan in place if one occurs. Violations can result in significant penalties and fines.
HIPAA stands for Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act; HIPPA has no meaning and is a misspelling, albeit a common one.
