New legislation, i.e. the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) requires institutions to comply with security and privacy provisions to protect patient information. This will have a major impact on how health care institutions operate and deal with patient information, including, but not limited to, images, results, claims, etc. This also has affects vendors because their products and services have to comply with these rules as well to make sure the health care providers are meeting these new rules.

OTech provides training and consulting, both for Radiology vendors and end-users to comply with HIPAA. We perform audits, can provide a gap analysis and suggest solutions for your implementations. We provide in-house seminars, as well as conferences on these subjects. If you happen to miss these conferences and/or are unable to travel, you might want to purchase a copy of the proceedings, which contain all the presentations, which is accompanied with a video of the conference.
