Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA)
HIPAA protects health insurance coverage for workers and their families when they change or lose their jobs. HIPAA also requires the establishment of national standards for electronic healthcare transactions and national identifiers for providers, health insurance plans, and employers besides addressing the security and privacy of health data. The standards are meant to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the nation's healthcare system by encouraging the widespread use of electronic data interchange in the US healthcare system.
As a medical transcription company, iSource recognizes and is committed to help clients achieve HIPAA compliance within the timelines set forth by HIPAA regulations. The governing framework we have created is used for defining and managing the HIPAA initiatives.
Our HIPAA privacy officer facilitates and manages the HIPAA and information security needs of our organization and for our clients. He is responsible for developing and maintaining effective educational programs for training the internal staff and external clients on HIPAA compliance.
We also understand the fact that the HIPAA regulations have still not been finalized and are subject to change. Our principle is to make all reasonable efforts to be knowledgeable and responsive towards HIPAA regulations, reduce paperwork, streamline the inadequacies of the industry, make it easier to identify and bring to court fraud and mistreatment, and achieve HIPAA compliance within the mandated timeframe.
We provide HIPAA compliance requirements like limiting access to the application by User ID and password, role-based access, context-based access, user-based access, auto log off from the application if no activity is performed for a certain time, auto logging to provide an adequate report within the application for the last 12 months if the patient detail is accessed, modified or deleted, user authentication by providing an encrypted password and a personal identification number.
Medicaltranscriptionsservice offers HIPAA regulations, strive to give our clients quality medical report transcription, reduced paper works through online data storage and anytime patient report access
