January 10, 2012 The HealthMEDX Data Center for cloud computing clients has passed stringent Statement on Standards for Attestation Engagements (SSAE) No. 16 auditing standards providing increases assurance that patient and resident data managed by HealthMEDX is secure.
The HealthMEDX cloud computing model allows clients to focus on patient and resident care by freeing up critical resources from information technology management. Client’s databases are maintained and accessed easily through the secure and reliable HealthMEDX cloud. HealthMEDX recently completed the audit process to ensure the organization’s data center and hosting operations meet the SSAE 16 guidelines.
