Healthcare Compliance

Mitigating the Compliance Tidal Wave

Today’s hospitals face a growing list of compliance mandates and guidelines, from the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), to standards from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) and Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to the recommendations of the Joint Commission, to name just a few.

Developing a strategy to comply with such regulations can send your organization heading in dozens of directions. One thing, however, is certain: ECM technology like document management, imaging and workflow remains an essential part of any compliance effort.

While the various regulations are aimed at different industries or beneficiaries, they all essentially require healthcare organizations to preserve the integrity and confidentiality of their records and produce them in an appropriate and timely manner. Without a centralized repository to store the vast amounts of unstructured data generated across your organization, meeting regulatory requirements is almost impossible.

The unique and powerful functionality of Perceptive Software ECM products can unify your approach. Across the legislative spectrum, there are three common requirements for compliance — data integrity, confidentiality and accessibility. Our technology comprehensively and cost-effectively supports these provisions, which are critical to satisfying the myriad compliance mandates facing your hospital.

Ultimately, compliance hinges on security. Advanced document and system security measures built in to our products — such as digital signatures, authentication and auditing capabilities — protect every document stored in the system. So whether you are handling sensitive patient information, highly classified documents or just everyday invoices, our ECM platform helps ensure your content is safe, secure and in the right hands.
