Security Measures To Protect Data
iAnesthesia is very aware of the importance of data security for the healthcare provider and we have taken multiple steps to ensure the security of your data.
The main step taken is to minimize personally identifiable information from being collected. Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) dictates that a combination of a Patient Name with either a birth date or medical record number improperly stored may result in a privacy violation. Whereas only a medical record number with a birth date does not compromise patient privacy if in the wrong hands. Thus, iAnesthesia: Case Logs only tracks information that will not lead to a patient privacy violation.
If a user is still concerned about the security of the iPhone App, they can utilized the Apple Password Protection App.
As for the CaseLog Database, we employ 256-MB Secure Socket Layers (SSL) technology to protect data communications. Similar to the iAnesthesia iPhone app, the database does not store information that would compromise patient privacy.
