PROMOTING HIPAA-COMPLIANCE WITH AUTOMATED WORKFLOWS

How to Ensure Better Electronic Health Record Security with Automated Workflows

As more healthcare providers and agencies migrate from paper files to electronic health records (EHRs) and databases, it is essential that decisions made pertaining to the disclosure of patient information are in accordance with HIPAA.

MetroStar Systems worked with Howard University Hospital to develop an automated workflow that walked providers through HIPAA disclosure regulations, enabling educated decisions without constantly referencing HIPAA regulations.

This workflow not only enhanced the security of patients’ electronic health records, but increased efficiencies by making it easier to share and transfer knowledge among stakeholders.
