What privacy and security policies are in place to ensure HIPAA compliance?
Every client must sign a business associate agreement to maintain HIPAA compliance with our review of confidential medical records. HIPAA compliant privacy and security measures are in place for transmitting and storing both electronic health records and paper charts. All protected health information (PHI) is encrypted and stored on a secure server. All transmission of PHI is protected with secure socket layer (SSL) encryption technology. Access to medical records containing PHI is governed and limited by the minimum necessary standard. Only those auditors involved in your audit will have access. Additionally, all access is removed once the audit is complete and records are securely destroyed.
