Ivision International’s HIPAA Readiness Statement
HIPAA Privacy Rules
As required by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA), the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) released final federal regulations that govern the use and disclosure of personally identifiable health information in December 2000 (HIPAA Privacy Rules). Final changes to the regulations were published on August 14, 2002. In most cases, the deadline for compliance with the HIPAA Privacy Rules is April 14, 2003.
Ivision International Compliance Efforts
In response to the HIPAA Privacy Rules, Ivision International has established a HIPAA Privacy Work Group consisting of executives from various areas within our organization, including our Privacy Officer. Ivision International has taken this opportunity to not only enhance our policies and procedures with regard to use and disclosure of PHI, (Protected Health Information) but also to streamline our internal practices in order that we may serve our clients more efficiently.
Our HIPAA Privacy Work Group has implemented and will continue to develop and consistently monitor, review and update our Information Security Program, which includes:
1. Formal Privacy Policies & Procedures outlining the use and disclosure of PHI
2. An Information Security Program that addresses organizational practices, security of physical facilities and
electronic data, and staff training
3. Ensuring that all Third Party Providers have an equivalent program
As part of that Program, we are providing our third party vendors with a Business Associate Agreement and requesting that they enter into the Agreement with us.
International’s HIPAA compliance, initiative and/or readiness or for additional information, please contact our Privacy Officer, Diane Antal at dantal@ivisionintl.com or by phone at 954-267-0770.
