YES
Security is one of the primary reasons we built Mobile HealthCare EHR. The primary reason for building Mobile HealthCare EHR was to offer electronic charting software to care providers that did not NEED an internet connection at all times to work. However, the second reason is because we knew that web-based EHRs are not very secure with regards to being able to secure social security numbers and personal health information. In fact, no other web-based services such as online banking, credit cards or loan services even show more than 4 digits of your account number and they certainly will not show your SSN on a webpage. However low-end or free EHR/EMRs are doing this and it is not safe. Thousands of Bank, Credit Card and PayPal logins are hacked into every day even though these websites use the absolute best in government security standards available.
HIPAA is a bare bones security standard
If any software you use is only HIPAA compliant, it's nothing to feel really safe about. It primarily just requires that all private information be encrypted when transferred or stored and that logins are secured by username and password.
Mobile HealthCare EHR exceeds HIPAA standards
Mobile HealthCare EHR encrypts all of your sensitive data. When data is transferred between your iPad, iPhone or Mac and the Mobile HealthCare EHR Cloud, 128-bit encryption SSL technology is used to encrypt your data. The primary way in which we exceed HIPAA requirements is simply by the technology we use. We do not offer any sort of web-based access that are vulnerable to hackers and our software does not run on insecure devices such as laptops or desktop computers which are full of malware, spyware and viruses that capture your keystrokes, data files, cookies and take screenshots and send them to hackers.
