HIPAA: Vitalog Privacy Policy Regarding Protected Health Information
Vitalog's Virtual Sleep Lab (VSL) family of
diagnostic and therapeutic monitoring solutions is committed to
safeguarding patient's health information. Vitalog and its VSL
customers recognize and acknowledge that in order to conduct its
mutual business, customers will need to disclose protected health
information (PHI) for individual patients. Vitalog and its VSL
customers realize that the protection of this information is covered
by various state and federal regulations, including HIPAA and
those rules governing the Medicare and Medicaid programs.
Vitalog assures its VSL customers that it will
appropriately safeguard protected health information made available
to Vitalog. Vitalog will continue to
make its best efforts to comply with all applicable laws regarding
the privacy of patient information. In April 2003, Vitalog entered
into a HIPAA Business Associate Agreement with all active VSL
customers to assist them in complying with HIPAA. For more information,
