Leveraging Intranets and Extranets for HIPAA Compliance
In the healthcare industry, the secure sharing of confidential patient information is crucial. Intranets and extranets now offer solutions that meet the stringent security demands necessary for HIPAA compliance.
Key HIPAA Requirements
The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) outlines three main requirements:
1. Protect the privacy of individual health information.
2. Ensure security measures are in place to protect this privacy.
3. Standardize electronic data interchange in healthcare transactions.
To address these needs, intranets and extranets can be effectively utilized. When implementing these systems, consider the following essential security features:
- Secure web servers with 128-bit SSL encryption
- Continuous server monitoring
- Secure IDs and passwords
- Defined authority levels
- Permission controls for viewing information
- Automatic session timeouts after 30 minutes
- Options to disable user-specific cookies
- User capability to change and create strong passwords
- Comprehensive, uneditable activity logs for security audits
Implementing a Web-Based Solution
A practical way to quickly deploy an intranet or extranet is by using an Application Service Provider (ASP). This approach provides several benefits:
- Immediate access to robust security features
- Reduced initial costs
- Established reliability
- No need for installing additional software
By choosing a web-based ASP solution, healthcare providers can enhance security while ensuring compliance with HIPAA, all without the hassle of complex installations.
