Ensuring Absolute Privacy, Security and Integrity at All Times
At Bristol Healthcare we continuously strive to maintain exemplary ethical standards and implement the highest level of compliance in employing physical, network, and process security measures. We ensure strict adherence to HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act) and HITECH (Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act) rules and regulations.
We recognize the significance of data storage location, particularly for sensitive healthcare information. To address these concerns, we exclusively process and store all data on servers within the United States. This approach aligns with HIPAA guidelines and ensures that patient data is subject to stringent U.S. data protection laws.
All personally identifiable information (PII) and patient health information (PHI) are guaranteed utmost care and confidentiality, limiting access only to authorized personnel on a need-to-know basis. We proactively monitor the evolving federal regulatory landscape, allowing us to adapt our internal compliance strategy promptly and help our clients stay ahead of regulatory changes.
