Online Appointment Scheduling Booking And Registration Software and HIPAA practices
Many physicians and dentists are looking for the proper software
that would magically make their practice HIPAA compliant. Moreover,
the constant question they ask is whether our Online Appointment
Scheduling Booking And Registration Software is HIPAA compliant. Well...
The answer to this HIPAA related question is simple – software cannot
be HIPAA compliant because software is a tool, not a business practice.
Please understand that the term HIPAA Compliance refers to the
organizational obligations and business practices and not software
specifications.
HIPAA regulations do not apply to IdeaJets Inc. because we never collect
billing, insurance or other HIPAA-related transactions; in addition we
are not collecting patient clinical data. However, we do implement
numerous features that help with HIPAA related issues. Patient contact
and appointment information is kept private and is only available to
account owners and authorized personnel. Our databases are secure and
password protected; IdeaJets never shares, discloses or sells patient
information to any third party unless required by the law.
Conclusion:
Any software cannot be HIPAA compliant because software is a tool, not a
business practice. However, our Online Appointment Scheduling Booking And
Registration Software implements numerous features that help with HIPAA
related issues.
