In 1996 Congress passed the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA). The purpose of this Act was to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the healthcare system through the development of established health data standards and requirements for the transmission and storage of electronic health information. HIPAA is the first national regulation on medical privacy and is the most far-reaching federal legislation affecting the use, release and transmission of medical data.
HARVEST is committed to being compliant with HIPAA regulations. Security is taken very seriously. HARVEST has taken stringent measures to protect all patient information. Our security measures include some of the most advanced techniques available. We constantly evaluate our security system and implement new technologies as they become available.
Our three levels of security meet the HIPAA regulations related to Electronic Transmission of Patient Information. HARVEST products and services have been designed to fully comply with HIPAA.
