HIPPA Certification

What is HIPPA Certification?

HIPPA is a widely adopted and standardized Quality Management System (QMS) for the Aerospace industry. The aerospace community has specific requirements that need to be taken into account, and the QMS needs to incorporate these critical requirements. The HIPPA Certification was introduced in 1997 by the International Aerospace Quality Group (IAQG) based on the internationally recognized standard ISO 9001 in order to encourage International quality, safety, and technology standards in air transport. The certification can be applied to all areas in aviation like design and manufacture of equipment, airport and airline operations, aircraft accessory supply, spares supply, and maintenance.

The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) is a United States federal statute enacted by the 104th United States Congress on August 21, 1996. It is a federal law that required the creation of national standards to protect sensitive patient health information from being disclosed without the patient’s consent or knowledge. It was created primarily to modernize the flow of healthcare information, stipulate how personally identifiable information should be protected from fraud and theft, and address limitations on healthcare insurance coverage. The law has emerged into greater prominence in recent years with many health data breaches caused by cyberattacks and ransomware attacks on health insurers and providers.

Personally identifiable health information is defined as information, including demographic information, that “relates to past, present, or future physical or mental health or condition of an individual, the provision of health care to an individual, or the past, present, or future payment for the provision of health care for the individual” that either identifies the individual or with respect to which there is a reasonable basis to believe the information can be used to identify the individual.” It directly affects healthcare providers across the nation.
