It is our belief that the standards promulgated under the Health
Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) are an important step
toward ensuring the privacy, confidentiality and security of patients' health information.
We are committed to delivering services and products that will assist our customers
in complying with their regulatory requirements under HIPAA. Brain Power will continue
to advance our software products' design to assist our customers in their compliance
efforts. However, it is important to note that a software package cannot be "HIPAA-compliant,"
nor can it confer that status. To be compliant with HIPAA, our customers will need
to address policies and procedures that go beyond the functionality of our software.
For example, the HIPAA privacy provisions may require changes to patient privacy
notices and authorization forms and procedures, and computer security may need to
be enhanced. We encourage each of our customers to gain an understanding of the
HIPAA regulations, evaluate the impact on their operations, and prepare their organizations
to be HIPAA compliant.
