HIPAA Security & e-PHI

“Electronic Protected Health Information,” often referred to as e-PHI, encompasses all patient-related data generated, stored, exchanged, or received through electronic means. Its digital nature makes it susceptible to potential loss or unauthorized access. “Covered Entities” encompass businesses and organizations responsible for managing this electronic protected health information, including hospitals, physical therapists, dentists, health insurance providers, and various healthcare practitioners. These entities are obligated to adhere to the “Security Rule,” which mandates the establishment of “reasonable and appropriate” administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect e-PHI.

To meet the requirements for “Reasonable and Appropriate” Safeguards, Covered Entities must:

Ensure the confidentiality, security, and availability of all e-PHI generated, received, or transmitted.
Proactively identify and mitigate potential threats to the integrity and security of the information.
Guard against any anticipated unauthorized uses or disclosures of e-PHI.
Ensure that workforce members accessing this information comply with established safeguards.

Definitions within the Security Rule are as follows:

Confidentiality: Guaranteeing that e-PHI remains inaccessible and undisclosed to unauthorized individuals, preventing improper disclosures and misuse of protected health information.

Integrity: Ensuring that e-PHI remains unaltered and undamaged by unauthorized means.

Availability: Making certain that e-PHI remains accessible and readily usable upon request by authorized personnel.

How to Determine which Aspects of the Security Rule are Right for Your Organization?

Determining the appropriate Security Rule elements for your organization involves recognizing that covered entities vary widely, from large multi-state health plans to smaller local physical therapy practices. The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) acknowledges the adaptable and scalable nature of the Security Rule, empowering covered entities to assess their unique circumstances and requirements. This enables them to implement solutions that align optimally with their needs, taking into account factors such as their physical size, organizational complexities, capabilities, technological infrastructure (including hardware and software components), financial considerations, and the likelihood of potential e-PHI data loss, along with the potential consequences of risks to e-PHI.

5.0

My Company has worked with A.N.S. Networking, Inc. for 11 years now and we couldn't be happier. Brian and Evan are responsive, professional and always looking ahead to make sure our company is prepared. They give their time and attention equally to large projects or quick questions. We are thankful to work with such a wonderful company!

Brian and his team at ANS Networking are an integral part of our business operation and are always on-hand for anything from a quick emergency fix, to general IT work and strategic initiatives and beyond.

I have been a client of A.N.S. Networking for more than 15 years. Brian is always incredibly responsive to any support requests. He also maintains our system remotely on a monthly basis to ensure that everything is running smoothly. Our network is strong and doesn't have any downtime. He is also is always cognizant of keeping the costs down and not spending money where it isn't necessary. I would highly recommend working with A.N.S.

Brian has been an essential part in setting up my accounting practice. He walked me through the different options for equipment, network, data back-up and security, helping me to choose the most cost effective IT package, set everything up at my office, and now monitors and maintains everything remotely. He is incredibly responsive whenever I have questions and I couldn't be happier with the service.

A.N.S. Networking, Inc., has been the IT service provider to the last two work places I have been in over a span of 20 years. Our experience has been outstanding with service and support when it is needed. We have found they are usually ahead of the curve in terms of current issues and trends. They have always delivered as promised, and are always available when needed. And perhaps most importantly, they will talk to you in common language so you can understand a technical issue and what options there may be for addressing them. As a municipal government, we have also found they are sensitive to our annual budgeting requirements and restrictions. We would highly recommend them for your consideration.

Brian is extremely responsive to our company needs and can be reached at any time. Call back is within a few minutes of any request.

We have been working with Brian Chasse at ANS for over 3 years. Brian's attention to detail and efficient network engineering capabilities are excellent. He has also been helping us with our cyber security compliance which adds another level of depth to the services he offers. We feel fortunate to have such a reliable partnership for all our technology needs.

We've worked with Brian at ANS Networking to handle our IT needs for our offices in Rochester, Dover, and Alton for over 5 years. Brian is always responsive, listens to our concerns and finds solutions that fit our business (20 employees). A++ Service!

A.N.S Networking has been providing excellent IT support and services to the Auburn Police Department since 2015, following a cyber attack. From day one, Brian Chasse made APD data security and network management top notch and secure. He and his IT team are quick to respond to any questions or issues we may experience. With remote monitoring and management, the protection is quality and trustworthy 24/7. A.N.S. Networking gets a 2 thumbs up by us.

ANS has been wonderful to work with. Brian and Evan have always responded to our calls in a timely manner. They are very knowledgeable and are always very professional. In the last couple of years we have opened two new locations and they did a walk through, ordered what we needed, set up everything and then tested the computers, scanners, server and printers. Brian goes above and beyond. Even on the weekends, when the doctors needed some assistance, we called and in a matter of minutes we were set. I would highly recommend their services. ANS is the best!

A.N.S Networking has been providing our IT services for roughly 15 years. Their expert guidance has helped us to implement new point of sale software, two accounting systems and networks at new locations. They have learned our corporate culture and are sensitive to whether a project is cost or time sensitive. They are always available via phone, email or text message - which is critical for an IT provider. Often they make me aware of potential issues so that we can fix them before they become a large problem. It is so nice to have a company I trust to handle not only the big projects but also small day to day tasks. I would recommend them to anyone. You will not be disappointed.
