HIPAA, FaceTime, and You
Someone asked the question, “Is FaceTime HIPAA compliant?” According to Apple, by itself, yes FaceTime is HIPAA compliant, “each FaceTime session is encrypted end to end with unique session keys. Apple creates a unique ID for each FaceTime user, ensuring FaceTime calls are routed and connected properly.”
Compliance, however, depends on how the user manages the tool, the physical environment, devices, wireless connections, and networks being used. If these are not HIPAA compliant, then you are not compliant when using FaceTime or any other service or software. It’s up to each individual to assure that not only the service they use, but also the 
physical environment, network, and devices they use conform to HIPAA security standards.
For more information about HIPAA and how it applies to you, view our free webinar.
QuicDoc® Enterprise HL7 LAB RESULTS Integration
Returned Lab Results are available in QuicDoc Enterprise Edition through QuicExchange.
Once QuicExchange is linked with QuicDoc Enterprise, you will be able to review lab results for a single patient or scan through all Lab Results received within a specified time period.
Results that are normally confined to your lab terminal can now be instantly associated with patient records in QuicDoc Electronic Health Records Software. Additionally, results can be marked as having been reviewed which helps to simplify patient data management workflows.
For more information visit the QuicExchange page on our website, attend our free webinar on Lab Orders and Results, or call our Sales Department at 800-850-8510.

The majority of QuicDoc® Pro and Office Therapy® users are not the target of hackers today. The biggest threat our users face is the loss or theft of servers, desktop and laptop computers. These computers, even when secured with Windows logon passwords, are not secure enough.Logon passwords can easily be hacked leaving the data vulnerable to thieves. Even if they don’t take the time to break the password, the culprit can just remove the hard drives and connect them to other devices to access the data. The only way to adequately protect your practice, your clients, and yourself is to encrypt all the drives containing “Protected Health Information.”QuicDoc Pro and Enterprise, as well as Office Therapy software users should protect their data by encrypting the hard drives where the databases reside. BitLocker Drive Encryption built into Microsoft computers for Windows 7 and higher, will encrypt hard drive(s) to protect operating systems from offline attacks. If you have not done so and need to encrypt your hard drive, be sure to first back up your data and store it on an external device.You can rest assured that all data transmitted for E-Prescribing and for E-filing is automatically encrypted following the latest HIPAA requirements. And for Cloud users the data is automatically protected using bank level security with high level encryption methods.
Simply having a procedure in place to check on the billing status of a client before making him/her inactive will resolve any problems. Perhaps one individual can be assigned to this task. The procedure to make clients inactive should depend on workflow and communication between the front and back office staff.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) content is available as an add-on in both our QuicDoc Professional and Enterprise Edition software. The flexibility of embedding EMDR documentation content in QuicDoc enables providers to capture and report information on EMDR treatment, as well as track patient progress. EMDR certified therapists who are current customers of QuicDoc can purchase EMDR documentation content for a nominal fee. Contact our Sales Department at 800-850-8510 for information.
We will be retiring versions 9.0 to 9.0.4 of Office Therapy Practice Management software, effective September 1st, 2014.
