Offsite Medical Archive Service

• What is your legal exposure for lost patients’ images?
• What are the HIPAA penalties?
• Are you prepared to spend thousands of dollars on data recovery?

The confidentiality, integrity and security of patient data are not just a good idea - it is the LAW. To be HIPPA compliant, it is extremely critical that your patient images are secure and that you have duplicated records stored at an off-site location in case of unforeseen disaster.

Advance Imaging provides an offsite medical archive service as a safeguard against the threat of total data loss. Our ZenPACS is a cost-effective offsite patient image archive allows hospitals and imaging centers to store their patient’s medical records in a secure HIPAA compliant off-site server and provides "on-demand" access to images linked via the internet. Advance Imaging has an effective, easy and inexpensive digital image backup system with servers located at AI Datacenters. Any facility storing DICOM images can use our service through the advances in data encryption. Our costs are literally pennies on the dollar.

The importance of not losing patient images is critical. Pulling old images from an offsite medical archive quickly and efficiently to compare to current studies is crucial in diagnosing patients. Also HIPAA requires that facilities have an image backup plan. If a system failure lasts only a few days, the problem may be limited. But, if all images are destroyed, serious problems can result. Without a backup, a facility is sitting on a HIPAA disaster waiting to happen.
