EAGAN, Minn., June 4, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- ConvergeOne Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: CVON, CVONW) ("ConvergeOne" or the "Company"), a leading global IT services provider of collaboration and technology solutions, today announced it has met all the requirements toward attaining the HITRUST certification, and is officially HIPAA compliant.
Almost every aspect of modern healthcare including record keeping, information management, and workflow—from scheduling to admission, discharge, and transfer—relies on digital services and Electronic Patient Health Information (ePHI). Medical providers and payers that fail to protect ePHI place themselves at severe risk for penalties and fines should there be a breach of confidentiality.
"ConvergeOne has successfully met the critical data security standards required to be HIPAA compliant, a critical milestone as we continually strive to elevate our role as trusted advisor to our many healthcare customers who can rest assured that they are operating in an environment that takes the necessary steps to protect and secure patient confidentiality," said John A. McKenna Jr., Chairman and CEO, ConvergeOne. "Our data centers have been audited and ConvergeOne has obtained an independent HIPAA compliant report confirming our adherence to strict standards, both physical and operational, that handle ePHI properly and securely."
Developed by healthcare and IT professionals, the HITRUST Common Security Framework (CSF) provides an efficient framework for managing the security requirements inherent in the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA).
