The United States government is pushing the widespread use of Electronic Medical Records (EMR) and offering stimulus incentives to providers who implement and use a certified EMR or they will begin to penalize any medical clinic that does not convert to by 2015. This is attracting all of the major players in the IT community. Dell and many others are jumping on the EMR bandwagon, hoping to rake in as much of the stimulus money as possible.

All of the IT buzz over electronic medical and health records will attract the hacker and cybercrime communities as well. Imagine all of the personal information and social security numbers that a criminally minded individual could get there hands on if even one small clinic's computer network is compromised.

Luckily, the government is once again stepping in and enforcing a HIPAA Breach Notification system that went into effect September 23, 2009. The average fine that a clinic could be facing if they are found to not be HIPAA compliant is up to $202 per patient. As you can see, the cost for even a small clinic would be significant if their computer network is found to be un-secured and in violation with the HIPAA act. Clinics have 180 days (until February 22, 2010) to get their networks secured before the HIPAA Breach Notification system is enforced.

The only two options a clinic has, is to secure their computer network and become fully HIPAA compliant, or they can purchase a 1 year breach waiver package for the cost of $4,995.

That is where Texarkana IT comes in. If there is under 25 computers on the network at your medical clinic an Astaro Security Gateway (ASG) 110 or 120 would be all equipment that you would need. Your computer network would be immediately secured with the best security product on the market, be fully HIPAA compliant, and what makes this even more appealing is  the price of the equipment, security subscriptions, and set-up costs will be less than purchasing the 1 year HIPAA breach waiver package.

Installation packages are available for large medical clinics as well and Texarkana IT will be happy to work with your existing IT staff to insure that all of your network security needs are met.
