GINA Compliance Application

Meaning

A specialized software module or operational procedure designed to ensure that all handling of genetic information within a health or wellness setting strictly adheres to the mandates of the Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act (GINA). This application is critical for preventing the misuse of genetic markers, such as those related to hormone metabolism or disease risk, in employment or health insurance decisions. Implementing this compliance tool safeguards patients from genetic discrimination based on their inherent physiological predispositions. It acts as a mandatory administrative control for genetic data.
