HIPAA Compliance

HCFA.com was established by to assist health care providers in becoming HIPAA compliant . In addition to the resources listed on this site, we also offer HIPAA compliant application hosting through Servlet, Inc.

Since the passage of HIPAA in 1996, you must be able to provide assurances that the integrity and confidentiality of the electronic protected health information (PHI) that you collect, maintain, use or transmit is protected—and not just against the risk of improper access but also against the risk of interception during electronic transmission.

How will your practice meet these requirements? Your organization will require a dedicated IT staff, a secure data center and the policies and procedures in place to ensure the level of security HIPAA now requires. Investing in all of those will prove costly and time consuming. A more cost effective solution is to look to Servlet to support you as a trusted HIPAA business associate. After all, managed hosting is our core competence and our time-tested administrative, technical and physical safeguards can provide you with precisely the kind of security you need to ensure HIPAA compliance.

As a managed hosting service provider, Servlet can easily act as a business associate to provide you with a level of data center and network security that your own operations might not be able to provide. Our role is to operate a highly secure, highly available environment from which to run your critical applications and in which to store your most critical information—thus providing you with some of the key safeguards you need to remain compliant with the new HIPAA security regulations.

We offer additional services such as anti-virus for your in-house computers, secure email services, and web site hosting.

If you need assistance in choosing a Practice Management System, we can point you in the right direction for that too.
