The New HITECH act has been passed by Congress and signed into law by President Barrack Obama February 17, 2009. As you know, the technology world is a constantly evolving entity, and we, as handlers of sensitive patient information, have to evolve with it. I am pleased to announce that we here at EMR OmniScribe LLC will be HITECH compliant many months in advance of the mandated date of February 17, 2010.

At OmniScribe we are in the process of sweeping upgrades to our IT system, network infrastructure, and training programs that will help ensure that patient data is as secure as possible while in our hands. Utilizing stable and advanced hardware, complete with the best and most cutting edge security software the industry has to offer, we can guarantee the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of all patient information in our systems. This should give you, the covered entity, the peace of mind that no matter what, your patients’ information will be safe and secure with us.

At OmniScribe guarantee that we are 100% HIPAA compliant. Your patients’ protected health information is stored on an encrypted network drive on a secure network with multiple firewalls for the short duration it is in our possession. Every employee, every business associate of ours, literally anyone that can or has laid eyes on a computer screen in our office has signed a HIPAA compliant confidentiality agreement. We take your patients’ right to privacy very seriously, and not a single decision is made in our office without it in mind.
