Maxxess Offers New HIPPA Audit Solution

  • Jul 13, 2021

Maxxess Systems is introducing a new application for the company’s renowned eFusion Security Management Solution that supports HIPAA audits helping organizations to avoid violations during audits that may result in penalties and hefty fines.  

“Most access control providers do not design their security software to specifically support HIPAA audits,” said Nancy Islas, president of Maxxess. “Thus, organizations are forced to create their own custom configurations and other work-arounds in order to meet HIPAA compliance requirements. By providing a complete solution that not only helps control access to sensitive patient information, but also tracks and reports on access to that information, we help our customers stay in compliance and demonstrate that responsibility to enforcement auditors on demand.”

The HIPAA Audit solution for Maxxess eFusion allows healthcare organizations to control access to several different locations, maintaining highly accurate audit trails and to help provide proof of compliance. The solution allows users to implement as many applications as they like, including Alarm Management, Video Verification, Elevator Control, Badging, Scheduling, Data Integration and eMobile Cell Phone Control.   

The HIPAA audit solution includes:
• Audit Reporting Filter – filter fields include date range, timeframe, etc.
• Cardholder Audit Report – provides which and when employees are approved access to ePHI areas, visitor access approvals and much more
• Operator Report – contains information on hardware changes; login/logout and inactivity log out times; authorizer info, etc.

    Years ago, it would have been significantly more expensive to run an analytic like that — requiring a custom-built solution with burdensome infrastructure demands — but modern edge devices have made it accessible to everyone. It also saves time, which is a critical factor if a missing child is involved. Video compression technology has played a critical role as well. Over the years, significant advancements have been made in video coding standards — including H.263, MPEG formats, and H.264—alongside compression optimization technologies developed by IP video manufacturers to improve efficiency without sacrificing quality. The open-source AV1 codec developed by the Alliance for Open Media—a consortium including Google, Netflix, Microsoft, Amazon and others — is already the preferred decoder for cloud-based applications, and is quickly becoming the standard for video compression of all types.
