HIPAA Journal

The HIPAA Journal is a useful website for all things HIPAA. It’s got news, breach info, tips, and the latest in healthcare data security. They’ve got sections like “New HIPAA regulations” and “HIPAA Changes 2023.”

You can find out about the latest HIPAA rule updates, like telehealth rules and security changes. They even wrote about how 79% of healthcare companies had API security problems last year. It’s a good way to keep up with what’s happening in HIPAA.
