Medical Privacy Georgia
Information about Medical Privacy
What is Medical Privacy?
Medical Privacy in Georgia, as in other States, is
taking on a whole new urgency, as the HIPAA non-compliance and HIPAA
violations are prosecuted and reported on front pages. Under
HIPAA, all covered entities, physicians, nursing homes, health insurance
companies, clearinghouses, Business Associates and their
sub-contractors, must safeguard and protect personally identifying
patient health information, written and electronic, by observing the
well laid out rules. Non-protection of patient data, will result in high
civil/criminal penalties, and disrupt your business operations.
The HIPAA rules for Medical Privacy in Georgia spell out
responsibilities, and they include training of the workforce, on the
use, storage, and retrieval of patient data. InfoSight Inc. offers that
type of training, in addition to our services for the professional
implementation of the most ideal Healthcare IT Security Systems,
compatible, and appropriate to your size, organizational structure, and
risks. HIPAA requirements for protecting sensitive data can be a costly
proposition; we make it simple and affordable, saving you time and much
money.
InfoSight is well-equipped to host your patient data, and protect it,
allowing you to have much more time to focus on your other matters, the
HIPAA administrative requirements, and patient care. We are a compliant
hosting provider, with administrative, physical and technical safeguards
in place, meeting the most stringent U.S. Department of Health and Human
Services requirements. We understand intimately Medical Privacy in
Georgia and its IT demands. Why search for IT assistance and data
hosting, when we are leaders in IT?
A Supplemental Act was passed in 2009 called The Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health (HITECH) Ac; it supports the enforcement of HIPAA requirements, by raising the penalties of health organizations that violate HIPAA Medical Privacy and Security Rules. The HITECH Act is a response to health technology development, and increased use, storage and transmittal of electronic health information.
