USE ELECTRONIC RECORDS SAFELY WITH HIPAA

If you want: - Integrated database security system; - Monitoring and tracking of all user activity and documentation; - Organization-wide record retention automation; - Protected Health Information (PHI); - Your organization needs to implement security procedures to keep inside information out of the reach of cybercriminals.

The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act – HIPAA is the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Law created in 1996. It forms a set of guidelines that healthcare organizations are required to follow to protect their internal digital information. After the crimes of system hijacking and theft of customer data affected the profits of healthcare institutions, HIPAA has become of great importance for institutions that offer services related to the sector. The increased use of electronic medical records has made HIPAA include Protected Health Information – PHI, protection of the security and privacy of health data that forms a complete set of personally identifiable health or related health data. It also includes insurance and billing information, diagnostic data, clinical treatment data and laboratory results, such as images and other tests.

STWBrasil prepares information holders to be able to reactively and proactively monitor access to administrators, ensuring that all members of the organization are fully monitored, guaranteeing the security of their systems.

HIPAA rules apply to: Hospitals, insurers, health plans, medical service providers and research institutes that deal directly with patients and their data.
