Security and Compliance
Anchoring Security and Compliance At the Forefront
Because Prevention is Better Than Cure
In today’s evolving healthcare landscape, managing disparate legacy data systems is a significant challenge, especially with ongoing mergers and acquisitions. Healthcare data conversion is the essential process of transforming Electronic Health Record (EHR) data seamlessly into modern, standardized formats like HL7-v2 or C-CDA. This critical step ensures your historical patient information remains accessible, compliant, and integrated, empowering high-quality patient care and operational efficiency.
Secure and Compliant Data Archival with 314e’s Muspell Archive
In today’s complex healthcare landscape, data security and regulatory compliance are paramount for archival solutions. 314e, a Healthcare IT company founded in 2004, offers Muspell Archive, a cloud-based, FHIR-native healthcare data archiving solution designed to future-proof your legacy data while ensuring unmatched security and adherence to industry standards.
Uncompromising Data Security Features
Muspell Archive is built with robust security measures to protect sensitive patient information:
- Granular Role-Based Access Control (RBAC): Muspell Archive implements fine-grained access permissions at both the user and service area levels. This ensures that only authorized personnel can access specific data based on their roles, maintaining data integrity and confidentiality.
- User-Level Audit Trails and Reporting: The system meticulously captures detailed information about all user activity, including who accessed what data and when. This comprehensive audit logging provides transparency and accountability, crucial for security monitoring and incident response. Specific filters allow tracking activity by username, patient name, source system, and duration.
- Unique Data Isolation: To prevent unauthorized access and commingling of data, Muspell Archive isolates data from other information stored within the archival solution, enhancing security.
- Access-Restricted Charts: Sensitive patient data is protected with specific restrictions, limiting access only to authorized personnel.
- Single Sign-On (SSO) with EHRs: Muspell Archive allows users to authenticate once to access data, supporting single sign-on with EHRs, including SMART on FHIR® in-app launch. This seamless integration means clinicians never have to leave Epic to access legacy patient data, improving workflow efficiency without compromising security.
- Cloud-Native Security: Hosted on secure cloud infrastructure, Muspell Archive ensures data is stored with robust encryption and multi-layered access controls. Documents uploaded to the archive are stored in S3.
Adherence to Key Compliance Standards
314e is deeply committed to regulatory compliance, ensuring Muspell Archive meets and exceeds industry requirements:
- HIPAA Compliance: Muspell Archive is fully compliant with HIPAA, guaranteeing that patient data is securely stored and accessed only by authorized individuals.
- 21st Century Cures Act Alignment: The platform fully aligns with the ONC’s 21st Century Cures Act, promoting data transparency and patient access to health information through standardized APIs.
- SOC 2 Type II Certified: 314e is a SOC 2 Type II certified company, demonstrating a strong commitment to managing customer data securely. Annual SOC 2 audits by an external auditor verify these controls, and all 314e data centers are located in the United States.
- NCQA Data Aggregator Validation: As a Certified Data Partner, 314e has received NCQA Data Aggregator Validation, reflecting their commitment to high data quality standards.
- FHIR-Native Architecture: Built from the ground up on the Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR) standard, Muspell Archive ensures that archived data is in a standardized format, simplifying exchange and sharing with other healthcare systems and making it directly compliant with regulations like the Cures Act.
Compliance-Driven Features for Data Management
Muspell Archive provides specialized features to support ongoing compliance and data governance:
- Asynchronous Release of Information (ROI): Flexible ROI workflows are aligned with ONC regulations, enhancing patient access to their health data and allowing them to designate recipients and preferences.
- Patient Data Purge: Muspell Archive offers various options for purging patient data, including an ‘Auto Purge’ feature based on selected criteria and purging from individual patient charts. This capability allows organizations to comply with state laws, such as purging data for deceased patients after a specified period. A certificate of destruction can be generated on demand as proof that a record was destroyed, detailing the date, time, user, and reason. These certificates are accessible from the patient search screen and purge logs. The platform allows for the creation of patient lists for bulk purge actions, which are tracked in purge logs.
- Specialty Workflow Support: Muspell Archive handles specific workflows such as Access-Restricted Charts, Security Label settings, and Document Uploads.
- Patient Merge Functionality: The system includes a patient merge feature to consolidate patient entries from different source systems and generate a new global Muspell MRN, with all related activities tracked in Audit Logs.
