HIPAA provisions don’t directly mention “traveling information,” but they require safeguards for all Protected Health Information (PHI).

Healthcare practices should also use strict protocols when transporting physical records to reduce risks. Working with HIPAA compliance experts ensures patient data stays protected anytime, anywhere.
