HIPAA Compliance in the Digital Age
Is your practice turning from traditional record keeping to a digital format? Are you communicating regularly to patient, colleagues or staff using email? Would you like to submit reports to third parties via email?
Email and digital storage of data is commonplace in healthcare. However, using it without certain safeguards puts you at risk for HIPAA violations and the accompanying fines. We can make sure you have the proper safeguards in place:
- Desktop-based Email Encryption – These solutions are almost as seamless as your regular email and are perfect for intraoffice or interoffice communication.
- Web-based Email Encryption – These solutions are ideal for communicating with patients, attorneys, utilization review, adjusters, and other doctors.
- Email Tracking Services – These services effectively replace proof of delivery shipping methods at a fraction of the cost.
- Server Security – If you are storing your patient information in digital format, security and offsite data backup are critical.
