Health information privacy is of growing concern to patients using the Internet to communicate with their healthcare teams including biotech and pharmaceutical companies. Zoomedia's rigorous approach to security ensures our services are provided within the guidelines outlined by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA). There are two components to HIPAA: security and privacy. All Zoomedia services meet HIPAA security standards while privacy requirements are established within the context of each project ensuring the resulting site or application is in compliance with each clients’ specific privacy policies.

How Does HIPAA Apply to Zoomedia?

Zoomedia provides electronic communication and information storage services that are required to be HIPAA compliant if Protected Health Information is stored or transmitted. Protected Health Information (PHI) under HIPAA means any information that identifies an individual and relates to at least one of the following:

• The individual’s past, present or future physical or mental health
• The provision of health care to the individual
• The past, present or future payment for health care
