HIPAA can be confusing, so let us simplify it and demonstrate how Intricloud implements data backup, disaster recovery and emergency operation ensuring HIPAA compliance for your organization.
HIPAA compliance has always been an element of complexity in the healthcare setting due to the ever evolving regulations.
Compliance with these regulation elements will play a stronger role in your organization with the implementation of HIPAA Omnibus rule in January 2013 which has brought sweeping changes to the provider (CE) and Business Associates settings. The biggest impact that you should be proactive will be:
HIPAA requires Covered Entities and Business Associates to implement physical, technical and administrative safeguards to protect patients information. A critical aspect of the HIPAA privacy rule is Data Protection, requiring compliant backup methodologies to ensure the security and confidentiality of Protected Health Information, including information that is transmitted or maintained electronically. Intricloud provides a robust tool to meet HIPAA Administrative, Physical and Technical Safeguard requirements.
Our design encompasses the administrative safeguard requirements for a Contingency Plans as provided in 164.308 providing compliant elements for Data backup, Disaster Recovery and emergency mode operation.
We guaranty our design meets technical safeguard criteria by limiting access per authorizations granted, encryption and decryption standards, and audit trails.
Physical Safeguards requirements are met through strict procedures limiting access to information and properly authorized access. We have established procedures for restoration of lost data per 164.310.
