Medical professionals face very real challenges with Information Technology. The complexities of Electronic Medical Records (EMRs) combined with the regulatory issues of remaining HIPAA-compliant can be daunting.

Integration will help to implement the required HIPAA Security Rules.

Technical Safeguards

• Access Control. A covered entity must implement technical policies and procedures that allow only authorized persons to access electronic protected health information (e-PHI).24
• Audit Controls. A covered entity must implement hardware, software, and/or procedural mechanisms to record and examine access and other activity in information systems that contain or use e-PHI.25
• Integrity Controls. A covered entity must implement policies and procedures to ensure that e-PHI is not improperly altered or destroyed. Electronic measures must be put in place to confirm that e-PHI has not been improperly altered or destroyed.26
• Transmission Security. A covered entity must implement technical security measures that guard against unauthorized access to e-PHI that is being transmitted over an electronic network.27

Integration will run network assessments and risk analysis on all new rules of HIPAA to make sure you are still compliant.
