ODBS Helps with HIPAA Backup
Compliance
The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act
of 1996 (HIPAA) impacts virtually every health-related
organization in the U.S., including all health care
providers (even one-physician offices), health plans,
employers, public health authorities, hospitals, life
insurers, clearinghouses, billing agencies, information
systems vendors, service organizations, and
universities. Part of this act is focused on the secure
transmission and storage of confidential patient data.
Non-compliance with these regulations can mean both
civil and criminal penalties. To be HIPAA compliant,
organizations must provide reasonable and appropriate
administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to
ensure integrity, confidentiality, and availability of
patient information.
Under HIPAA, organizations must provide security and
privacy for personal health information to guard against
reasonably anticipated threats or hazards, both in
transit and during storage. Physical safeguards and
technical measures to protect patient information must
also be in place as well. Rather than spending huge sums
of money to bring their own IT departments within HIPAA
compliance, users can utilize ODBS to provide an
economically feasible data security and storage solution
without compromising patient privacy.
With ODBS, patient data is secured using 256-bit AES
encryption before it is transmitted to servers residing
at secure class A Network Operation Centers. Physical
access is strictly controlled through administrative
procedures, physical safeguards, and technical security
measures to prevent unauthorized use or disclosure of
customer data. Access to data requires that designated
personnel provide an authorized encryption passphrase
(not even ODBS has a copy), making unauthorized access
virtually impossible.
HIPAA also mandates that healthcare providers retain
electronic patient records for a minimum of 6 years and
strictly forbids unauthorized access to individually
identifiable health records. To accommodate, ODBS
provides a cost effective way to store patient data
indefinitely in secured facilities, in encrypted
lossless compression.
ODBS features daily automatic backups scheduled by the
user and backups can be restored to any location, 24/7.
Our ‘Always Live’, US-based customer service is
available around the clock and daily backup audits and
confirmation e-mails with summary transfer logs ensure
the integrity of every single data backup set to provide
a clear audit trail, if necessary. |
