Tackle HIPAA with confidence.
Healthcare institutions are required to secure Protected Health Information (PHI) in both electronic and paper form. With providers automating record systems to improve patient care, this information exists on a diverse set of computer systems, with unique access, control and data transmission requirements. Sensitive information must also be shared securely with a variety of cooperating providers, payers and clearinghouses. To protect patient privacy, prevent ID theft, maintain reputation and avoid audits due to inadvertent disclosures and patient complaints, HIPAA-covered entities must discover system vulnerabilities, mitigate risks and demonstrate compliance.
Assurity River offers a comprehensive set of security services to help healthcare institutions achieve HIPAA compliance, target security spending where it is most effective and address PHI security needs on a continuing basis:
