HIPAA is an acronym for Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996. Though this legislation is far-reaching and complex, its overriding purpose is the protection and safeguarding of an individual’s medical records. One critical part of these guidelines is the physical security and tracking of those who handle such patient records. These same guidelines apply when handling all privileged information such as employee records, payroll information and sensitive internal records.

“Are records secured around the clock? “
“Who has accessed these records? “
“When were they accessed?”

Richmond Security routinely works with healthcare organizations to provide easy-to-install and cost conscious solutions such as digital keypads, proximity readers and biometric readers with audit trail capability to ensure compliance.
