The American Pharmacists Association (APhA) appreciates the opportunity to submit comments on HHS's notice of proposed rule, "HIPAA Security Rule to Strengthen the Cybersecurity of Electronic Protected Health Information."

Abstract

This rule will propose modifications to the Security Standards for the Protection of Electronic Protected Health Information (the Security Rule) under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) and the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act of 2009 (HITECH Act). These modifications will improve cybersecurity in the health care sector by strengthening requirements for HIPAA regulated entities to safeguard electronic protected health information to prevent, detect, contain, mitigate, and recover from cybersecurity threats.
