Educating the startup community on the complexities and necessity of HIPAA is important. I'm glad Aptible is helping the YC community.
To tack on to my colleague at Catalyze: We provide two thorough guides to both HIPAA and HITRUST. If anyone is looking for a deep dive on either topic, you can access the guides here:
https://catalyze.io/hipaa-compliance https://catalyze.io/hipaa-compliance
https://catalyze.io/hitrust https://catalyze.io/hitrust
The guides are a thorough summary and aggregation of all our content spread throughout the web, which is why they are behind a form. If you would like to access all the content directly, it's largely all available for free as separate entries in our Academy:

- JoshMandel 11y agoThanks for these guides. You may want to re-word what you say about patient rights in https://catalyze.io/assets/media/HIPAA-Compliance-Guide.pdf https://catalyze.io/assets/media/HIPAA-Compliance-Guide.pdf -- you say that HIPAA "gives individuals ownership of their health records", but I don't think that's quite right. The Office for Civil Rights has a good overview on patient rights at http://www.hhs.gov/hipaa/for-individuals/medical-records/index.html http://www.hhs.gov/hipaa/for-individuals/medical-records/ind... and when it comes to the right to access, there's an excellent in-depth overview at http://www.hhs.gov/hipaa/for-professionals/privacy/guidance/access/ http://www.hhs.gov/hipaa/for-professionals/privacy/guidance/... . (Note: it would be nice if you made your PDFs searchable; currently they're images, which makes it hard to find and cite relevant content.) EDIT: for an in-depth treatment of the "ownership" issue (in its nuanced glory) see http://www.healthinfolaw.org/comparative-analysis/who-owns-medical-records-50-state-comparison http://www.healthinfolaw.org/comparative-analysis/who-owns-m...
