Word Spreads about HIPAA-Compliant EHR Portal

In the first fourteen days since its launch, iMedicor has already recorded more than 17,800 registrations representing physicians and other healthcare providers across the United States. The iMedicor portal, which went live on October 10th, is the health industry’s first free, HIPAA-compliant online personal health data exchange and secure messaging portal for physician collaboration, community and referrals. “We are astounded by the growth and acceptance of iMedicor within the medical community,” said Fred Zolla, CEO and President of Vemics, parent company to iMedicor. “We recognized early in our development stage that the electronic transfer of medical records, files and images was lacking in modern communication between doctors and other health care workers. The acceptance of our new portal reaffirms that our decision to develop HIPAA compliant tools was right on the mark. iMedicor is quickly becoming the Doctors’ Internet”.

Vemics recently announced its partnerships with the Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy Association (HCMA), theAssociation of Black Cardiologists and the Pulmonary Hypertension Association. More association announcements for iMedicor are expected in the coming weeks. The portal’s proprietary HIPAA-compliant technology and ability to enable health providers to exchange medical record data, x-rays, mammography, etc. are what distinguishes it from the chat-room-style portals for doctors currently in existence.

“A looming danger exists for healthcare providers on non-HIPAA compliant portals,” says Zolla. “Physicians can inadvertently violate HIPAA rules and subject themselves to tremendous liability. With all the extra tools out there now for the health care community - choosing which online tools to use is more important than ever in light of patient privacy concerns, liability for doctors, for their legal counsel in advising them and health care insurers in general.”
