HIPAA Compliance
The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability
Act, HIPAA, has serious implications for behavioral healthcare and social
service providers. Two basic components of the Act are the protection
of the confidentiality of client data and the standardization of electronically
transmitted client data. Organizations must comply, and document their
compliance, or face hefty penalties.
MS*Health Software wishes to assure its clients
and prospective clients that MS*Health/CMHC for Windows software installations
covered by then current support agreements will comply with each of
the HIPAA regulations standards by their respective mandated implementation
dates.
Users of earlier versions of MS*Health/CMHC
should consider upgrading to MS*Health/CMHC for Windows to assure compliance
with HIPAA requirements.
