Nurse Shredding Papers for Hipaa Compliance – Free Stock Photo

Image Description: Per Hipaa regulations, the nurse depicted in this illustration is shredding papers to ensure that PHI (protected health information) is not compromised. The nurse is seated in a typical medical office setting and is shredding papers from folders that are marked ‘Confidential’ which implies that they contain protected health information. The ‘Privacy Rule’ in the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability act (HIPAA) mandates that PHI must be disposed of in a way that will not risk revealing protected health information.
