Orth American Pharmacy prioritizes patient privacy and data security. We adhere strictly to HIPAA regulations and employ multiple layers of protection.
- We use robust encryption for all electronic health information (EHI), both in transit and at rest. This includes patient records, prescriptions, and billing information. Access to patient data is granted only to authorized personnel on a need-to-know basis. Our system tracks all access attempts, providing an audit trail for security monitoring. Regular security assessments and penetration testing identify vulnerabilities before they can be exploited. We immediately address any identified weaknesses. Employee training programs cover HIPAA compliance, data security best practices, and recognizing phishing attempts. Refresher courses occur annually. Our physical security measures include secure storage for paper records, controlled access to our facilities, and surveillance systems.
Data breaches are a serious concern. Our incident response plan details procedures to quickly identify, contain, and remediate any potential security incident. We proactively notify affected patients and regulatory bodies as required.
We maintain a detailed inventory of all hardware and software used to process patient data. This aids in vulnerability management. Our systems are regularly updated with security patches to mitigate known vulnerabilities. We utilize multi-factor authentication for all system access, adding an extra layer of security.
Patient confidentiality is paramount. We encourage patients to contact us immediately with any privacy concerns. We’re dedicated to maintaining the highest standards of data protection.
