HIPAA for Vets?
Oct 13, 2020 8:07 pm
Thankfully, veterinarians are not bound by federal HIPAA regulations. However, did you know that the privacy, security, and availability requirements of veterinary records do vary state to state? Do you know for sure that your practice meets your state and local requirements?
My name is Alan Reeves. My business, MouseCalls Technology Solutions, has supported Vets like you from Tennessee to California for over 20 years. Not terribly long ago, we were called by a Vet in Nashville whose server was hacked because his “computer guy” set up remote access in an insecure fashion. The Vet lost 17 years of patient records as a result. Every x-ray, prescription, visit record...just gone. He had to start from scratch.
The era of using a “computer guy” working out of his pickup or using a high school kid because he is “good with computers” to manage your practice’s IT is long gone (or should be, anyway). Operationally mature vets know that the modern threats of data security need to be handled by professionals. They also know it doesn’t have to cost an arm and a leg.
We don’t just provide IT support. We can bundle in other options such as:
- Business development by John Pyron - double your practice’s profits in six months
- $1MIL Identity Theft Protection for every staffer you have
- Cybersecurity insurance and Done-For-You policies and procedures
- Digital signage, WiFi-enabled marketing, web presence
We would like to extend you the offer of a complimentary “second opinion” survey of your computer network. Even if you are happy with your current provider, you can take advantage of our free service that will either allow you to have peace of mind, or provides you with an action plan to secure your practice, your data, and your uptime.
