HIPAA Compliant Transcription Services
Hark Transcription Services is well aware of its professional obligations towards HIPAA regulations. We continuously upgrade our knowledge base and upgrade our transcription systems and infrastructure to responsibly manage your valuable healthcare information.
Secure Data Transfer
Data is transferred using 128-bit SSL encryption, currently the highest level of security us for transcription services, also used for online credit card transactions. Our data transfer is powered by reliable platforms of leading Internet security service providers.
Data Confidentiality; in-house measures
We have strict in-house IT security policy to ensure client data confidentiality. Each transcriptionist and support staff has signed CNDA (Confidentiality & Non-Disclosure Agreements) to ensure client data secrecy. Transcription lab PCs do not have any external drives (CD, floppy etc.) installed. Internet access to the transcription staff is limited to few search engines (for searching latest drugs, terms etc.). Downloading or uploading of data, checking of emails is completely prohibited in the transcription lab.
