Title II of HIPAA, the Administrative Simplification (AS) provisions, requires the establishment of national standards for electronic health care transactions.  These AS provisions also address the security and privacy of health data. The standards are meant to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the nation's health care system by encouraging the widespread use of electronic data interchange within the US health care system.

Along with this increased efficiency and effectiveness comes the widespread availability of patients' personal medical and financial information to anyone with access to these data stores.

The EncryptaKey solution is perfectly suited to address and alleviate these security concerns. With the EncryptaKey solution in place, patients can be sure no one other than authorized individuals has access to their sensitive personal information. Healthcare providers, insurance companies, medical billing companies and other participating entities can offer a new and superior value proposition to patients and other stakeholders, and can achieve measurable reductions in security and privacy operating costs.

The EncryptaKey Solution is ideal for:

• Hospitals and medical centers
• Large physician medical groups
• Claims processing firms
• Physician offices
• Individual patients
