HIPAA Compliance

The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of HIPAA of 1996, was formulated to adopt standardized security measures that would protect sensitive patient data against unauthorized disclosure during electronic exchange. At Transcyber Adi all our services are molded according to the needs and requirements of the HIPAA and procedures for privacy and security meet the standards of HIPAA.

 


 We account HIPAA compliance as a priority by conducting HIPAA compliance training and other initiatives. We have a large competent workforce to enable high productivity volumes within the commitments. We are focused for delivering zero-error output to all our clients. In addition, our quality and reporting group evaluates processes internally based on checklists of requirements defined by you. We consider the HIPAA regulations a call to revolutionize our overall processes and aggressively move towards a more secured deployment of electronically transmitted healthcare information. By adoption of the best practice approach to privacy and security, we earn the confidence of the clients.


Physical Security
All our premises can be accessed by authorized staff only those are highly trained, and cognizant with our services and privacy policies.

Information Security
All our incoming ports are protected by filters and a firewall; system access is only offered to FTP and management ports. SSL supports the access of our server by our clients and only a valid login name and password is given access. Only encrypted files are sent across the internet. Even if the files are intercepted en-route, no one can decode them as they are configured around stringent security standards.

Data Access
All our transcriptions process dictations and reports on workstations, connected to the company’s private network. No floppy driver, disc drives etc are present on these workstations, which prevent the download, transmission or printing of information. Recordable media are strictly prohibited within the premises of the facility.

Privacy
All Transcyber Adi  Inc. employees sign a confidentiality agreement, and if asked for, we supply a copy of this agreement to our clients. Our computer systems have active security; monitored 24x7, with automated and real time network intrusion detection.
Emergency Contingency Plans are in effect to facilitate continuity of operations. Hard-copy documents related to clients / patients are disposed of with the shredding of the said documents.
This is just a brief cross-section of all the HIPAA guidelines that have been adopted as a part of our working processes. For more information you can contact us directly and learn more about our stringent data security and compliance procedures.

System Security
Our processes are planned to ensure a high level of security and confidentiality through strict privacy policy implementations and compliance with international standards. FTP servers used for data transfer are secured. No removable media is provided on operator workstations. Client data is generally not printed at our end, however if needed, the papers are shredded after use. Every operator and Server activity is logged and monitored. All applications require authenticated access to the system using a login identifier and password. Access to complete data is limited to the system administrator and authorized personnel. All these personnel require a password. In the unlikely event of server getting stolen or directly accessed by an unauthorized individual, access to the data would be denied because of the requirements for user authentication.

Administrative Security

We require all employees to sign a confidentiality agreement prior to joining the company. We monitor each employee's activity in his or her work area and then we generate a daily log report. During normal working hours, we do not permit employees to leave the premises without prior authorization from their supervisor. All employees are thoroughly briefed on privacy & data security issues and they realize that any lapse on their part would normally result in termination of their employment.
