• Safeguarding PHI: We use administrative, technical, and physical safeguards, such as encryption, secure servers, and access controls, to protect PHI from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure.
• Business Associate Agreements: When working with long-term care facilities, we enter into HIPAA-compliant Business Associate Agreements (BAAs) to ensure PHI is handled in accordance with federal regulations.
• Limited Use and Disclosure: PHI is only used or disclosed as permitted by HIPAA, such as for providing medical services, remote monitoring, chronic illness management, or generating solutions for nursing home administrators. Disclosures are limited to the minimum necessary to achieve the intended purpose.
• Staff Training: Our personnel are trained on HIPAA requirements to ensure compliance in all interactions involving PHI.
• Data from Monitoring Devices: Data collected from discreet, in-bed monitoring devices is encrypted and securely transmitted to our systems, where it is used solely for delivering services and generating solutions.
• Breach Notification: In the unlikely event of a data breach, we will notify affected facilities and individuals as required by HIPAA and applicable laws.
