Security

Effective April 2005, HIPAA now mandates security measures to (1) physically AND electronically secure electronic protected health information (PHI) against unauthorized retrieval, (2) reliably store the electronic data, and (3) provide for emergency access to the data. MDRemedi already has systems in place to meet these stringent security requirements — all while significantly reducing the security burden on your office and staff.

Privacy

Privacy regulations protect the confidentiality of the patient's individual medical information with respect to others. These privacy regulations apply to all PHI — paper, verbal and electronic. Once any information that may reveal a patient's identity is added to a document and that document is stored or electronically transmitted, the privacy provisions are in force.

As the HIPAA regulations continue to change and various deadlines arrive, MDRemedi^® will continue to lead the way in providing the best tools to help you meet your HIPAA obligations.
