HIPAA compliance measures require stringent health care security and privacy practices, those are intended to ensure patient confidentiality for all health care related information. Keeping these regulations in mind, OmniMD^™ is backed by technology and coding amenable to all HIPAA policies and is open to current and future HIPAA policies.

A brief look on how we empower you with HIPAA compliance:

 Data Encryption

OmniMD^™ values client concerns for complete security and privacy. We utilize 128-bit encryption, which matches the highest industry standards and Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) technology for all data transmission. Thawte, a renowned name in e-security certifications, powers our security certificate.

 Physical Security

OmniMD^™ has built in strong physical security measures. These are a combination of special hardware and specific software measures to ensure security of the web site, servers and databases. Backed by firewall technology, all incoming traffic is intercepted to allow access to authorized users only. All critical systems are monitored 24/7 by experts trained in all aspects of physical and technical security.

 User Authentication Security

Backed by proprietary software applications, OmniMD^™ controls access to restricted areas of the web site and database via login authentication. An automatic log off feature is in place to prevent unauthorized access to information in the event of the original user leaving the workstation without logging off.

 Internal Audit

We record and regularly review all system activities, including but not limited to, login, file access and security events. OmniMD^™ uses this audit system to assess and critique its technical security measures.

 Personnel Policies

Access to patient data is limited only to those employees who are liable to perform related tasks. Each employee is inherently made conscious to the fact that data accessed through their job functions is to be safeguarded and should not be disclosed to unauthorized parties. New employees are trained on all security systems and privacy policies during their initial orientation process.

 Contingency Plan

OmniMD^™ has developed an emergency response plan, which is routinely updated and includes disaster recovery, data backup, as well as testing and revision procedures. This ensures our preparedness for any eventuality or contingency.
