HIPAA Knowledge Base

ICANotes operates as a HIPAA compliant company, ensuring the utmost confidentiality and security of your data. We'd like to provide you with some pertinent information regarding our certification and compliance measures.

The Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology (ONC) collaborates with four accredited certification bodies designated as of February 2017. These organizations, known as ONC-ACBs, are responsible for testing and certifying electronic health record (EHR) systems, ensuring they meet stringent standards for functionality and security.

Under the ONC Health IT Certification Program, developers of health IT systems like ICANotes must adhere to certification criteria established by the ONC. This includes the 2015 Cures Updated Edition Health Information Technology Certification Criteria and the 2015 Edition Base Electronic Health Record Definition. I'm pleased to inform you that ICANotes has successfully met these standards and was certified by one of the ONC-ACBs, The Drummond Group, on December 24, 2022.

In conclusion, our ONC certification underscores our dedication to providing you with a high-quality EHR solution that meets the most rigorous standards of performance and security.

Access controls allow you to assign varying levels of privilege to users to ensure no one accesses PHI they shouldn't.

Individual user authentication enforces access controls with username and password protection, and sometimes even biometric technology.

Automatic logout drops workstations from the network and logs off the program after a sufficient period of idle time.

Digital electronic signatures and locking of the electronic record prevent the unauthorized alteration or destruction of electronic health records.

128-bit encryption prevents people without passwords from accessing PHI.
