Advanced HIPAA Compliant Teleradiology System
Our advanced teleradiology system is also HIPAA compliant, which helps to ensure your patients’ privacy. HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996) is a uniform, federal floor of privacy protections for consumers. It limits the ways that entities can use patients’ personal information and protects the privacy of all medical information no matter what form it is in. Imaging On Call abides by important HIPAA rules to ensure your patients’ privacy is protected:
- We have thoroughly trained all our employees in the privacy procedures and require each to sign a confidentiality agreement
- IOC has written privacy procedures, including a description of staff that has access to protected information, how it will be used and when it may be disclosed.
