Insurance Regulations & Electronic Signatures

 

HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act 1996) strongly recommends organizations authenticate and manage digital identities to protect the confidentiality and integrity of personal health information both on and offline.

 

Electronic signatures based on a mature & proven PKI (Public Key Infrastructure) technology are the best means to protect the integrity of information.And indeed HIPAA requires the protection of integrity "to corroborate that electronically protected health information has not been altered or destroyed in an unauthorized manner".
