Healthcare Compliances

The US Healthcare industry has proved to be one of the slowest industry domains when it comes to the acceptance of IT software solutions in order to positively affect the efficiency as well as the accuracy of day-to-day operations. The primary reason for this sluggishness is the complexity of introducing a new ‘way’ to do things into an industry that heavily relies on previously stored data and gets flooded with lots of new information every single day. Apart from the very slow pace of acceptance by several healthcare professionals as well as the related authorities, one of the main reasons why IT software solutions have had a slow start in the healthcare industry, is because of the presence of various compliances that must be met by an IT healthcare solution in order to be practically implemented on all levels of healthcare industry.

The HIPAA HITECH Act passed in 2009 accurately foresaw the rapid increase in the number of Electronic Medical Records software in the coming years. More and more number of patients (as well as doctors) prefer the ease of having their medical data on handheld mobile devices because of the ease of data access and modification. This means that there is a spate of EMR Software in the market, which makes it very critical that all healthcare solutions ensure the security and privacy of medical data. This is what the HITECH ACT aims to address by increasing the legal liability for non-compliance by widening the scope of privacy and security protections under HIPAA.


This poses a challenge to all the IT solutions providers as they have to come up with healthcare solutions that help provide superior services to healthcare professionals as well as the patients without violating various healthcare compliances in the US healthcare industry. Irrespective of these challenges, healthcare entities cannot neglect the role of technology in making day to day healthcare practices fast and efficient.
