Meredith Health Solutions is adopting a new system to store patient records. The organization must meet a nationwide requirement that enforces privacy and security guidelines for handling patient details. Which policy best fits these requirements?
The correct answer is HIPAA Policy. The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) sets the nationwide standard in the U.S. for protecting sensitive patient health information (PHI) through specific privacy and security rules. Telehealth Expansion Policy focuses on regulations for remote healthcare delivery, not the comprehensive storage requirements for all patient records. PCI DSS (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard) Policy applies to protecting credit card data, not patient health records. A Medical Data Management Policy is a generic term; while important, it is the HIPAA-specific policy that meets the legal requirements described in the scenario.
