The Health Insurance and Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) calls for security standards protecting the confidentiality and integrity of “individually identifiable health information”, past, present, or future.

The act mandates safeguards for physical storage and maintenance, transmission, or access to individual health information. It is the responsibility of organizations that are entrusted with health information to guard against deliberate or inadvertent misuse or disclosure of that information. That responsibility extends to the vendors (business associates) that an organization uses to manage that information.

On Call Transcription Solutions, Inc. has undertaken all necessary steps to meet the security requirements of HIPAA, establishing methods to transfer encrypted voice files and patient demographics to our associates, and deliver reports to our clients. Documents and provider voice files are burned to DVD, and securely archived for future retrieval. Our networks, PCs, and physical premises are protected by state of the art security systems. You can rest assured knowing that On Call is protecting the interests of your patients by securing your data!
