More About HIPPA Compliancy
What do HIPAA regulations require?
Health organizations, and the business associates who provide services to them, must ensure that the confidentiality and integrity of the medical records are secure when stored. Access to these digital records must be restricted by a Password/ID system that proves authorized access. Any transmission of this data must be protected by proper encryption. These safeguards need to be documented and signed.
HIPAA also requires that healthcare facilities take reasonable precautions to prevent a loss of medical records and information. In a digital environment, it means that a contingency plan must be in place in case of a computer emergency. If there is a loss of data, the plan must include a reasonable and effective method to restore those records without compromising privacy.
