Is Cloud Softphone a HIPAA-Compliant Real-Time Communications App?

HIPAA Violations Are Serious

Companies that violate HIPAA can receive fines ranging from as low as $100 all the way up to a few million dollars.

Thanks to social media, the integration of new technology in healthcare, electronic data transmission, and faulty cyber-security – HIPAA violations seem to be at an all-time high.

So, what are the real costs of violating HIPAA?

• The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston was ordered to pay over $4.3 million related to the organization’s encryption policies in 2013
• Presence Health was fined $475,000 for a HIPAA violation in 2017
• One dermatology practice was fined $150,000 for losing an unencrypted flash drive that contains sensitive information
• Fresenius Medical Care North America was ordered to pay a $3.5 million fine due to faulty security and encryption systems.

A lot can go wrong when transmitting sensitive data over an app. A HIPAA-compliant real-time communications app must include a proven encryption system, analytics for tracking individual users, and other features that improve your ability to comply with HIPAA.
