| CareEMR meets legal and regulatory requirements. HIPAA, the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of USA is emerging as a defacto Privacy Standard. Until recently, it was considered that the Private legal action for HIPAA violation was not in order. However after years of soft implementation, the HHS has started an aggressive enforcement during the current year. The Public demands that the enforcement of HIPAA has to be made even more aggressive and is actively invoking HIPAA for claiming damages for privacy breach. |
|
| CareEMR upholds the objective of the HIPAA security rule, which in essence ensures that the persons authorized to use the information, will have access to it and when the need is completed, this information needs to be removed out of the access of whoever had originally been granted the access. |
|
| CareEMR submits itself to HIPAA audit programs on a regular basis and based on the outcomes, new action plans for compliance are drawn up. When required new policies, processes and procedures are developed to ensure greater compliance. |
|
| With the adoption of Electronic Medical Records (EMR) in the clinical setting becoming mandatory, there is increasing demand for integration of diagnostic instrumentation into EMR systems. Where this integration is not available, the transcribing or scanning of test results into the EMR system is labor intensive and time consuming, detracting from the potential efficiencies of a paperless office. |
