HIPAA READINESS STATEMENT

As a provider of products and services to healthcare, we recognize the significant challenge that the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) presents to the industry and our customers. We have established a Corporate Privacy Initiative to educate our staff and implement policies toward understanding the implications of the Privacy and Security Regulations of HIPAA and toward meeting our obligations to our customers. Our sales consultants and technical engineers are ready to advise and recommend products and services that are consistent with the necessary safeguards to maintain appropriate security measures with Protected Health Information.

If you are a HIPAA covered entity (hospitals, clinics and physician offices) and our relationship with you meets the criteria of a business associate, please contact us for vendor contact information, who in turn will provide to you a Business Associate Agreement including all of the provisions outlined in the Department of Health and Human Services’ Sample Business Associate Contract Provisions, published in FR 67 No.157 pg. 53182, 53264, August 14, 2002.

We are expending considerable effort and investment toward meeting this new challenge because we value our relationship with each of our customers. Thank you for your business and contact us if we can provide any assistance.
