Taipei, Taiwan, August 24, 2012 --(PR.com)-- In recent years, many business corporations including healthcare organizations have increased reliance on wireless networking. The emergence of Wi-Fi technology calls for an even more compelling need for a secure network to facilitate the transmission and distribution of delicate data such as medical records. Physicians, nurses, administrators, and other healthcare positions have different scopes of work, hence requiring different authorities when it comes to manipulating online data. Wireless connectivity for staff is vital as they may need to retain connectivity when moving through the hospital. Guests on the other hand, should only obtain internet access from the network. In order to achieve this, 4ipnet offers a cost-effective, feature-rich network solution in compliance with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA).
Introduction to HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act)
HIPAA stands for Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act and was initially signed in 1996. HIPAA establishes the national standards for electronic health care transactions and was set up primarily to assure the portability and the privacy of health information. HIPAA includes several standards relevant to managing a wireless network such as the privacy rule and the security rule, applicable to health plans, healthcare clearinghouses, and health care providers collectively known as covered entities. The security rule is then subdivided into 3 categories: Administrative Safeguards, Security Safeguards, and Physical Safeguards.
