 Many health care organizations find
themselves scrambling to prepare their information
systems to help them meet the next HIPAA regulation
deadline. These administrative standards for
regulating the storing and transmitting of patient
information require organizations to adapt processes
throughout the care continuum. MEDITECH's tightly
integrated system provides the tools to help staff
meet these requirements.MEDITECH offers HIPAA-compliant versions of EDI transactions, including claims submissions, remittance transactions, and health care eligibility transactions. Our system also enables organizations to honor privacy rights by enabling patients to opt out of hospital directories; using medical record numbers, rather than patient names, in reports; and flagging VIP/confidential patients. Additionally, the MEDITECH system incorporates multi-tiered access control features that provide protection across all levels and types of access, as well as system-wide audit trails that track the viewing and editing of data. |
