HIPAA Compliant? Here Are Five Questions to Ask Your Cloud Services Provider

Healthcare providers have invested a lot of time and resources into meeting privacy and security laws such as the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA). Demands on IT resources will continue to grow in preparation for a complete conversion to electronic health records (EHR) by 2015.

As a small or mid-sized healthcare provider, you’re in the business of caring for people, not hardware and software. Dealing with everyday IT workloads plus current and impending HIPAA regulations can strain your already overtaxed resources.

Cloud services can offer a viable alternative to tackling complex technology issues in-house. By outsourcing the management of your IT infrastructure, you free up manpower and budget dollars to focus on patient care instead of equipment.

Some cloud computing providers are experts in maintaining a secure infrastructure. They can offer auditable security that is very difficult to achieve in a small hospital or medical practice. If you know the right questions to ask, you can reap the benefits of the cloud while taking HIPAA regulations into consideration.

Read the Five questions to ask a potential Cloud Services provider here.

Cbeyond's Dedicated Business Voice and Internet Service vs. the Shared Cable Connection

Cbeyond is the Dedicated Network that’s Dedicated to You.

Cable companies promise lightning-fast speed for next to nothing. What they don’t tell you is that your Internet access is shared with others, so your speed and voice quality vary depending on the number of users. During peak usage times, your speed suffers and if you need to contact customer support, you have to wait in line with residential users and teenage gamers.

Unlike most providers, Cbeyond offers a guaranteed, dedicated broadband connection so you can stay productive no matter the time of day. As more of your business moves to cloud-based applications, you can’t afford to entrust your Internet access to a provider that offers a shared connection.

Crisis Preparation Tips for Small Businesses: How to Maintain Operations and Protect Data When Disasters Strike

By Jeff Winnett, Regional Vice President of Cbeyond's Washington, DC Office

The recent earthquake that startled the metro-Washington, D.C. area, as well as the ongoing threat of powerful storms such as Hurricane Irene, show how vulnerable businesses are in the face of disaster. If such an event were to take place tomorrow, would your business be able to resume operations quickly and without losing critical data?

When an eight person law firm in Miami was hit by Hurricane Ike in 2008, it was forced to close its doors after a decade of being in business. Everything they had was destroyed and irretrievable. Although this was a natural disaster, the business owner could have taken some relatively easy and cost effective precautions to ensure his business was safe.

When it comes to security threats - both natural and manmade -businesses of all sizes are susceptible. Think about what kind of information you could lose from various disasters - years of tax records, confidential employee information including Social Security numbers, signed customer contracts and customer contact records, just to start.

While “urgent” matters are more deadline driven and require immediate attention, “important” ones can be delayed if necessary. However, the longer someone puts off an “important” matter, the greater the risk it will become “urgent”, creating a potential nightmare backup of time-sensitive materials for any individual to manage.
