HIPAA Compliance

MedicsDocAssistant's EMR software is fully HIPAA compliant and exceeds the privacy standards for electronic transactions.

The Health Insurance Portability & Accountability Act (HIPAA) is ushering in sweeping changes that will impact most healthcare organizations. Any healthcare entity that electronically stores and disseminates patient information and medical records must establish security systems over the next two years to adhere to HIPAA's strict new privacy standards.

As part of HIPAA's Administrative Simplification provisions, the security standards provide a uniform level of protection of all health information that is housed or transmitted electronically and that pertains to an individual. The HIPAA compliance security standards mandate safeguards for physical storage and maintenance, transmission, and access to individual health information. It applies not only to the transactions adopted under HIPAA, but also to all individual health information that is maintained or transmitted. HIPAA gives organizations the flexibility to choose the best security solutions to meet the security and privacy mandates.

In MedicsDocAssistant EMR, we are fully committed to maintaining HIPAA compliance with relevant HIPAA privacy regulations as they are issued and become effective and will continue to incorporate them into our current and future products and services.
