At Curandos, we are fully committed to ensuring the privacy, security, and confidentiality of all patient health information (PHI) in compliance with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA). Our post-operative care system is designed to adhere to the highest standards of healthcare data protection to safeguard the sensitive information of our users.
Curandos employs robust administrative, physical, and technical safeguards to protect PHI against unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. We ensure that all PHI is securely transmitted, processed, and stored in accordance with HIPAA’s Privacy Rule and Security Rule requirements.
Curandos uses PHI exclusively for the purposes of facilitating seamless communication between patients and their care teams, including doctors, nurses, and other medical professionals. We track vital signs, prompt medication reminders, and provide health monitoring information, ensuring that PHI is used strictly for patient care and operational efficiency.
Curandos integrates with Oracle Cerner, a HIPAA-compliant electronic health record (EHR) system, to pull and input necessary patient information, such as vital statistics and medication prescriptions. This integration ensures that all patient data is handled with the utmost security and that access to patient information is restricted to authorized healthcare professionals.
In accordance with HIPAA regulations, patients have full control over their health data. Patients using the Curandos application can access, review, and update their information, and they have the right to request corrections to their records. Additionally, Curandos facilitates the rights of patients to request a full accounting of any disclosures of their PHI.
Curandos ensures that access to PHI is limited only to authorized healthcare professionals involved in patient care. Our application uses industry-standard encryption to protect data in transit and at rest, preventing unauthorized access or breaches. We regularly review and update our security protocols to stay ahead of potential threats.
Curandos maintains Business Associate Agreements with all vendors and partners, including Oracle Cerner, to ensure that any third parties involved in data processing are also HIPAA compliant. These agreements outline the responsibilities of each party in protecting PHI and maintaining data security.
All Curandos employees undergo rigorous HIPAA training to ensure they understand the importance of safeguarding PHI and adhere to all necessary protocols. Continuous education and assessments are conducted to keep our team up to date with the latest compliance requirements and best practices.
In the unlikely event of a data breach involving PHI, Curandos follows HIPAA’s Breach Notification Rule to ensure timely communication. Affected individuals, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), and other relevant entities will be notified in accordance with regulatory requirements.
