Companies who have business relationships with US companies are made to sign contracts with provisions about HIPAA compliance.

Oftentimes, we (companies outside of the US doing business with US companies online) don’t know enough about the law to abide by it. Oftentimes, we just sign a contract not knowing what we really need to do, much like agreeing to the Terms and Conditions of software or sites. Agreeing without reading or thinking.

Heck, we don’t even know the law is until I saw this video.

This beats having to read the Act itself. Short but concise.
