Healthcare teams need to work closely to exchange information when providing quality care to their patients.
Today, it is common for patients to receive medical care from multiple providers in a combination of in-office and remote visits. If these providers fail to collaborate effectively, patients may face negative consequences. However, patient privacy is at risk during this collaborative process.
HIPAA regulations aim to protect the confidentiality of patients’ private data and set a standard for communication among healthcare providers.
Ensuring HIPAA compliance is essential to maintain the reputation of healthcare providers and preserve patient trust. Staying informed about changes in the law adds an extra burden to healthcare providers who primarily focus on patient care rather than public policy.
While the expectation for providers to follow HIPAA standards exist, there is no certification to ensure providers have a universal method to follow these regulations.

With modern collaborative care means that patients must rely on multiple providers to share important information, there is no clear universal certification to help providers navigate public policy. Providers are having to turn to their own solutions to help bridge the gap and are finding Unified Communications as an answer. UCaaS services help healthcare providers through comprehensive layers of security including 24/7 monitoring, guaranteed uptime, encryption protocols, and system monitoring through firewalls, intrusion detection, and regular vulnerability scans.
