Optometric Billing-Windows XP not HIPPA Compliant as of April 8,2014
According to an email sent out by 1st physicians:
"As of 4-8-14 Windows XP will no longer be HIPPA compliant. Microsoft has announced that as of April 8, 2014, they will not release any security patches for the Windows XP operating system. Without this support, Windows XP will be non-compliant with HIPAA. This leaves just 12 weeks for you to replace any PC's on your network currently using Windows XP. Please note that this will not only affect health care, but also all business and government agencies, so it could result in a shortage of equipment available, or shipment delays."
Over the coming days, opticXpress will be listing links on our website where you can buy high quality, HIPPA compliant PC's. For now, you check out two that are sold in our amazon store by CLICKING HERE.
Call opticXpress today for help with replacing your non-compliant PC's.
