ScanSouth’s Secure Digital Database SD₂^TM helps maintain compliance with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA). Documents are digitally scanned and compiled into your database and can be password protected. You can limit access to insure compliance. In addition, you choose five fields by which you would like to search i.e.; patient name, insurer, social, physician, etc. Documents in the database can be queried against the search fields that you have designated. If necessary the document can then be printed or transmitted electronically. This system also permits broad searches across multiple documents by authorized personnel. SD₂ saves space, time and money. Thousands of records can be stored on a single CD-ROM. SD₂ allows for offsite storage to protect critical records against loss due to fire, water damage, theft or mishandling. Most importantly it saves time and money by allowing you and your staff to quickly, efficiently and securely access your documents for printing or electronic transmission.
