Compliance with the Health Insurance
Portability & Accountability Act (HIPAA) requires much more than simple
security measures. It also mandates the establishment of a
"Chain of Trust" to ensure equal levels
of security and confidentiality between the "covered entity"
(meaning the healthcare facility) and the contracted vendor—in this
case referring to the transcription process.
Spantel has created an ideal "Chain of
Trust" environment by seamlessly integrating client-side software
with a feature-rich Web management system that provides multiple
layers of both security and verifiable confidentiality throughout
the entire system.
With TSP, both the healthcare facility and
the transcription provider can see verification of all document
processes, including...
Complete audit trail for
each completed job
Time-tracking throughout
the job life-span
Unique identifiers for
authors
Password-controlled access
by user-and role-based functions
Integrated end-to-end job
routing
Seamless document
delivery
In addition to the normally-expected
security measures discussed on our "Security" page,
meeting HIPAA regulations assumes a careful and thorough
understanding of the intent and content of those regulations.
TSP by Spantel delivers a comprehensive
compliance system that is ready-made for every level of
application.
