HIPAA
STATEMENT
Accurate
Transcription is dedicated to maintaining levels of
security and compliance that meet or exceed the
standards of HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and
Accountability Act). In addition to our routine
security standards, we monitor the federal statutes
in an effort to remain compliant.
We continuously implement the highest security
levels possible as marked by managerial procedures
that are teamed with technological innovation. Our
focus is to protect the confidentiality of all
privileged patient and client information stored
internally and transferred over public networks.
Our company has made it a top priority to work with
our clients regarding HIPAA and security. Our
efforts to provide the best security are ongoing and
reviews are conducted regularly. As part of our
comprehensive commitment, Accurate Transcription has
addressed five key areas:
Secure
Physical Access
Our data centers are locked-down and
monitored 24 hours daily by year-round
surveillance. Our security measures include
stringent personnel access which subjects
persons requesting physical access to multiple
levels of identify verification.
Authenticated Access & Privileges
Accurate Transcription uses imbedded
intelligence to ensure that private information
is accessible on a “need-to-know basis” as
determined by role-based authentication
procedures. This checkpoint ensures that only
authorized persons can access information
relevant to their specific job duties, which are
identified and authenticated by username and
password. Background checks are also conducted
on our employees and vendors.
Data Encryption
Accurate Transcription encrypts all
Protected Health Information with a minimum of
128-bit encryption. This is the same level of
encryption used in the government and banking
sectors.
Data Back-Up
All data is permanently retained on
off-line media for added security. Additionally,
this media is stored offsite in the improbable
event that the data center is compromised. Data
is stored in an environmentally controlled
secure facility where access is restricted to
authorized personnel. Our networks host
firewalls and the latest antivirus software.
Fire
A fire detection system, monitored by
security 24 hours daily, is used in conjunction
with fire suppression.
