Tag HIPAA in Great Expectations

Tagging HIPAA in Great Expectations involves incorporating Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) compliance considerations into the data validation and documentation processes managed by Great Expectations, a tool used for validating, documenting, and profiling data to ensure its accuracy and integrity. In the context of healthcare data, which is often sensitive and subject to stringent regulatory standards, tagging specific expectations or tests with HIPAA relevance means identifying those data checks that are crucial for maintaining patient privacy and securing protected health information (PHI). This practice aids organizations in focusing their data validation efforts on areas of compliance risk, ensuring that data handling processes adhere to HIPAA requirements. Through the use of Great Expectations, data engineers and compliance officers can collaborate more effectively, leveraging the tool's capabilities to document how data pipelines meet HIPAA standards, thereby enhancing data trustworthiness and regulatory compliance.
