 How eWebHealth Complies with HIPAA.
As a Business Associate, eWebHealth believes that compliance with HIPAA is an essential factor underlying the effective delivery of its services. eWebHealth’s Executive Team and operational staff, many of whom have HIM credentials, have actively reviewed, interpreted and implemented the Privacy Rule and Security Rule standards in eWebHealth’s daily operations. eWebHealth has implemented administrative, physical, and technical safeguards that appropriately protect the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of PHI. eWebHealth also works closely with national and local HIM organizations, outside legal counsel, and government representatives, to ensure ongoing compliance with the Privacy Rule in a manner that meets the needs of the health care and HIM community. |
