The Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act (the "HITECH Act"), which was part of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, made some significant changes to the privacy and security requirements under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 ("HIPAA").
