Because computers and networks store and transmit sensitive patient information and financial records, healthcare providers need to establish security measures. Legal, regulatory, and insurance requirements, including HIPAA, will make computer security a business necessity.

HIPAA is a wake up call for the healthcare industry," according to Cheryl Campbell, President, It has made providers aware of the sensitivity of the information they already handle and the need for adequate protection."

IT ARMOR Healthcare packages make HIPAA compliance easier. These packages range from basic security for small offices to advanced solutions for larger multi-location organizations.

Security can be a competitive edge for forward-thinking healthcare providers," says Steven Davis, CEO. It opens up new avenues of services and improves client relationships. Efficiency of service can be dramatically improved with secure transactions for billing, scheduling, records transmittal, and claims filings.
