"Congress passed the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act on Aug. 21, 1996, setting in motion efforts by the federal government to protect the medical privacy of patients. The act eventually spurred the Department of Health and Human Services to offer the first federal medical privacy regulations called the Standards for Privacy of Individually Identifiable Health Information or simply the Privacy Rule, issued in draft on Oct. 29, 1999."
