With the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) looming large and approaching quickly in healthcare’s rearview mirror, innovative security practices are receiving warm welcomes. One such example is EMSA of Tulsa, Okla., the exclusive medical service provider for more than one million Oklahomans in the Tulsa and Oklahoma City metropolitan areas. EMSA provides advanced life support and transport services. Each year, EMSA responds to 100,000 calls at the scenes of accidents, health crises and other emergencies. EMSA annually transports 60,000 patients to healthcare facilities.
Protecting patient documents and data is mission critical.
