System Security and HIPAA Requirements

Agencies who have not already established system security for employee access to HHC 3000 are putting patient Protected Health Information at risk under HIPAA requirements.  HHC 3000 System security provides agencies with the ability to assign a unique user name and password for each employee.  Combined with a workstation or managed hosting log in , dual authentication as recommended by HIPAA is achieved.  Establishing system security in HHC3000 also provides agencies with Access Control and Audit Controls required by HIPAA.  Agencies utilizing the software in the Managed Hosting Environment will receive a warning in the Main Menu screen of the software.  Agencies who have not already done so will be required to establish system security by January 1, 2017.
