HIPAA Compliance
Implementation of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) policies, procedures, notices and all the mandates of this important legislation is required beginning April 14.
Much has been written and a general scramble for compliance has started among health care providers, self-insured health plans and just about everyone who receives personal health information for insurance or treatment reasons.
But how to implement a policy of security requires attention, study and scheduling. The need to comply cannot be treated casually. The fines and consequences for non-compliance are significant.
Perhaps the most important first step is to insure that all electronic communications and data base use concerning patient’s medical records are protected. LinuxForce LLC has developed a program called Powerwall to provide a needed Network protection element for HIPAA compliance. Powerwall meets the needs of a large segment of the health care community.
Powerwall protects your network and Internet transmissions against illegal intrusions by giving a new level of access security to critical patient health information and provides these and other electronic protection services without additional in-house IT personnel requirements.
The Powerwall package with remote monitoring, maintenance and administration provided 24-7 by LinuxForce LLC takes security to a level of protection beyond other firewalls. This level of protection gives you peace of mind in knowing that your network will be secure.
Regular system activity reports, alerts and escalated warnings are all included in the very reasonably priced Powerwall.
Powerwall is ready to help in your HIPAA compliance requirements. We can provide you with a Network protection program designed to address a large part of your compliance efforts.
