Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I chose this article because I feel it is an extremely important privacy law that affects almost everyone. Furthermore, at my job I work with auditors and we ensure that our down stream entities are all in compliance with HIPAA and other government regulations.

Evaluate the article
The introduction of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act is clear and concise. All of the topics discussed in the introduction are found within the article as well. Additionally, the information is up to date. Upon reviewing the content of the article, I noticed the violations area may need updating as it is using figures and graphs and describing the penalties from 2010. One more thing to note is that the legislation section is underwhelmed and does not have much information provided. A more substantial analysis with clear explanations should be updated within the articles legislative information section. The rest of the content looks correct and up to date and was relevant to the topic at hand. Furthermore, the articles tone is neutral and there does not seem to be any claims that are incorrect or over/under represent a given community. The sources at hand are fairly new and updated and appear to be reliable sources used. All the links to sources I clicked on to verify were correct and worked. Many of the sources referenced were from the CFR which would make the content as accurate as possible. There were no apparent spelling or grammatical errors noted. There are minor errors such are bulletin point out of place as well as a few missing sources but the article is organized well and clearly. The images within the article are clear and provide for a better understanding, however, the image in the violations section may need updating. Over all, the article is rated a B-Class on the talk page and would be improved with a few updates and a more developed legislative section.
