Healthcare Economics
Fines in healthcare refer to monetary penalties imposed on individuals or organizations for violating regulations related to privacy and security of health information. These financial penalties are meant to enforce compliance with laws, such as the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), and to deter future violations. The severity of the fines can vary based on the nature of the violation, the entity's level of negligence, and whether the violation resulted in harm to patients or loss of data.
