The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), also known as the Kennedy-Kassebaum Act, was enacted by the US Congress in 1996 to enable better access to health insurance, reduce fraud and abuse, and lower the overall cost of health care in the United States. Title II of HIPAA, the Administrative Simplification (AS) provisions, requires the establishment of national standards for the use and dissemination of health care information.

Reporting and tracking tools not only improve business efficiency and directly impact the bottom line; they also increase an organization's transparency, necessary for responding to auditor requests. The need to deliver files securely is increasingly important, not only to organizations that are required by law to protect confidential information, but to any organization that wants to take greater control of who receives critical files and data.
