How is medical information stored and transmitted by PreViser kept confidential, private, and secure?

Security guidelines mandated by HIPAA are used where applicable. Private health information is encrypted before transmission. Firewalls should be used to prevent intrusion into the application. See the Security and Medical Privacy topics in the User's Guide for more information.

What part of my patients’ information does PreViser store?

Only two things: one, any Treatment Option Plans associated with that individual, and two, the PreViser ID which is the only piece of identifying information linking that individual to their health data. This is in accordance with the HIPAA Privacy rule, by keeping any individual’s health information “de-identified."

Am I complying with HIPAA standards and requirements?

That’s up to you to monitor. The PreViser RiskCalculator™ is designed to be in compliance with the Privacy Rule, but you must monitor the way you use data procured with the RiskCalculator™ and ensure you use that information in compliance with HIPAA regulations. See the Medical Privacy and HIPAA Compliance overview here in the User’s Guide for tips on how you can do this.

How or where else is all this information used - do you sell my patients' information to third parties?

PreViser does not sell or share any individual patient data with other parties. Only the de-identified clinical components of a Risk Assessment are retained on PreViser’s database. The Risk Engine Services over time take into account the effectiveness of various treatments performed in impacting risk scores and disease states, and will stack-rank the recommended treatments based on this outcome assessment. Insurance carriers may be informed of aggregated results and statistics. Apart from that, the specific information is not shared with other individuals or organizations.

Can other clinicians or practices view my patients’ information at their locations?

No. All patients' protected health information and records are located only on the computer where they were entered, and users at each location can only access information regarding their own patients.
