Health care operations are certain administrative, financial,
legal, and quality improvement activities of a covered entity
that are necessary to run its business and to support the
core functions of treatment and payment. These activities,
which are limited to the activities listed in the definition of
“health care operations” at 45 CFR 164.501, include
1. Conducting quality assessment and improvement
activities, population-based activities relating to
improving health or reducing health care costs, and
case management and care coordination
2. Reviewing the competence or qualifications of health care
professionals, evaluating provider and health plan performance,
training health care and non–health care
professionals, accreditation, certification, licensing, or
credentialing activities
