HealthMEDX Passes SSAE 16 Type II Review

1/10/2012 4:20:59 PM

January 10, 2012 The HealthMEDX Data Center for cloud computing clients has passed stringent Statement on Standards for Attestation Engagements (SSAE) No. 16 auditing standards providing increases assurance that patient and resident data managed by HealthMEDX is secure.

The HealthMEDX cloud computing model allows clients to focus on patient and resident care by freeing up critical resources from information technology management.  Client’s databases are maintained and accessed easily through the secure and reliable HealthMEDX cloud.  HealthMEDX recently completed the audit process to ensure the organization’s data center and hosting operations meet the SSAE 16 guidelines.  SSAE 16 effectively replaces SAS 70 as the authoritative guidance for reporting on service organizations.  These updated examination guidelines mirror new international reporting standards.  

“We manage electronic medical records for our customers” stated Chris M. Bingham, Vice President of Infrastructure for HealthMEDX.  “Security standards and the strict adherence to data management best-practices are critical to our business and the customers that rely on our systems.  Successfully passing this audit helps validate the plans we have put in place to ensure this information is secure and available when needed for our clients.”

The HealthMEDX SSAE 16 Type II Exam took a number of months to ensure all areas were properly reviewed.  Time dedicated to proper adherence to these standards is seen by HealthMEDX as a key deliverable for clients looking to HealthMEDX for a reliable, secure location for their patient and resident data.  “Customers looking for a strong technology partner to manage their systems typically conduct detailed diligence.” Bingham said.  “Being able to turn to an organization and know that standards like those outlined in SSAE 16 are met automatically checks off a number of critical items from a due diligence standpoint.”
