PRIVACYHARBOR EXCEEDS HIPAA COMPLIANCE REQUIREMENTS
Performing daily business transactions through electronic technologies is an accepted, reliable and necessary tool across the nation’s healthcare sectors. Therefore, electronic communications have become a standard in the healthcare industry as a way to conduct business activities that commonly include:
- Interacting with web-savvy patients;
- Real time authorizations for medical services;
- Transcribing, accessing and storing health records;
- Appointment scheduling; and
- Submitting claims to health plan payers for payment of the services provided.
Using the web, undoubtedly, poses concerns about the privacy and security of an individual’s information. In healthcare, the confidentiality of a patient’s information has been implicit since Hippocrates - the Father of Medicine, 400 B.C. Today, merely taking an oath to respect one’s privacy has been overshadowed by regulations that govern how certain healthcare establishments must handle an individual’s health information. So, if a healthcare organization employs email as a means of communicating medical and/or mental health data to appropriate parties, they must also ensure that information is safeguarded.
PrivacyHarbor.com offers secure, private email services including extensive security features, Spam and virus filtering, robustness, and superior customer service. Our offerings are scalable to any size healthcare organization. With consistent management on PrivacyHarbor.com’s part, your small practice or large organization will be able to send and receive messages securely.
