At Zinc, we have a thorough understanding of the strict privacy policies and mandated technology guidelines required for health practices to successfully move into the digital age.
The exchange of patient information between healthcare providers, insurers, patients, and other administrative entities requires regulated security standards. In 1996, the U.S. Government established privacy rules that regulate the disclosure and use of a patient's healthcare information. Don't let these regulations stunt your ability to utilize digital medical records. We can help you meet HIPPA and HITECH compliance standards to take advantage of modern technology and streamline your operations without adding overhead.

Staying within HIPAA and HITECH doesn't mean sacrificing technology to make your practice more agile.
The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) was established keep personal health information confidential. The Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act (HITECH) establishes U.S. Government-mandated checkpoints pertaining to the implementation of various technologies.
