HIPAA Compliance
Online Backup Service Helps Healthcare Providers with HIPAA Compliance

Houston, TX-- A data loss disaster can mean hours of frustration, costly downtime and can even be harmful to patients. To avoid such problems, more healthcare providers are putting in place online data backup systems to safeguard their important digital information and to comply with the new Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA).

One such solution is SystemSafe, an online data protection system from NetMass Inc. that offers companies a totally automated data backup service that is HIPAA compliant. The SystemSafe software automatically and continuously backs up the data on business servers and computers via a secure Internet connection, and then stores the data in encrypted format at an offsite data center facility where it is available for immediate recovery at anytime. Data backups can be scheduled daily (they are typically done at night), and the service offers data recovery, system repair, file sharing and data archiving features. The company says no additional hardware or software is typically needed.

For medical professionals in particular, offsite storage is important in the event a serious disaster such as a flood, hurricane or earthquake ruins an office computer or computers and any critical data that is stored on it. Online backups, which have become increasingly popular as high-speed Internet connections proliferate, also guard against more commonplace problems such as theft, fire or accidental deletion.

HIPAA states that any health care provider, clearinghouse or health care facility that electronically maintains or transmits health information pertaining to an individual MUST have contingency plans that include backup, recovery and emergency plans.

Background on HIPAA
In 1996, Congress enacted the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA). The goals of HIPAA are to reduce administrative costs of healthcare, develop industry standards for consistency, promote the security and confidentiality of patient records, and provide incentive for electronic communication for the healthcare industry. HIPAA applies to any health care provider, health care clearinghouse, or health plan that maintains or transmits health information pertaining to individuals.
