Backup Verification
Are your patient records, test results, scanned documents, and prescriptions stored in one location? If so, your clinic is highly susceptible to a data disaster.
A data disaster is defined as one of the following:
- Data corruption
- Server theft
- Viruses
- Hardware malfunction
We already have a tape backup system
If you’re like most healthcare facilities, you have a tape backup system installed, but are far too busy to verify that your backup was successful every night. And forget about fixing any issues that arise - when would you have time for that?!
Assuming your data is backed up correctly is an all too common scenario. Reality is - it only takes one bad backup and thousands of patient records, scheduled appointments, billing codes, and scanned documents are lost. Not to mention the potential for lawsuits and liabilities that goes along with a data disaster.
Data loss is a completely preventable occurrence. That’s why it’s imperative to verify the data you’re backing up.
HIPAA Security mandates that healthcare facilities create a backup plan to protect their patient electronic health information. The security rule also states that periodic tests are needed to verify that backed up data is retrievable.
We can help you choose a level of service that best fits the needs of your clinic.
