What are Hippa physical safegards?

HIPAA physical safeguards are security measures aimed at protecting electronic protected health information (ePHI) stored or accessed in physical locations. These include facility access controls, such as locks and security systems, to limit physical access to areas where ePHI is stored. Additionally, workstation security measures ensure that devices used to access ePHI are secured and that unauthorized individuals cannot view or access sensitive information. Overall, these safeguards help prevent unauthorized physical access to health information systems and protect patient privacy.
