Medscribbler Lite - Users & Security

Security of your patient records is an important function of not only maintaining your business, but also as basic HIPAA requirement. Properly implemented, Medscribbler is more secure than paper records ever could be. Even in the event of a disaster such as fire or flood, with a backup and a laptop you can be seeing patients again within twenty minutes.

User Ids and passwords

Fully manage access to the system so only those who are authorized have access to the patient database. This is a basic HIPAA user requirement. In combination with computer user accounts Medscribbler is very secure. Users can be added or removed only through the restricted access of an Administrator. Passwords can be changed easily by the Administrator.

Micro detailed access permissions

From the Administrator, individual user permissions for each major activity can be set. For example, a user may be prevented from reading patient charts, or may be permitted to read but not add to the chart or may have full permission to read and add to the chart.

Detailed logging

HIPAA rules mean that the provider generally is responsible for what happens to patient information. A major deterrent to misuse of patient records by staff is the knowledge that you are watching. Medscribbler watches with complete logging of who accessed or did what to a record. Additionally, Medscribbler protects you further from global HIPAA penalties in staff misuse with logs on individual patient record access.

Unattended automatic backups

Winning teams and armies always have a backup plan. Medscribbler is ready to lay the foundation of your backup plan. Medscribbler will backup automatically once a day all your patient critical records. Never forget about doing a backup or have to rely on staff to remember the backup. At only 1GB per physician per year in storage requirements many third party on-site backup options are available. This meets HIPAA system security requirements.

Partner legal protection

In this litigious world often good friends and partners are unwillingly put against each other. For tax, malpractice or other reasons providers can keep absolutely separate patient rosters but share the same staff, office and equipment without having to duplicate computer software or systems.
