Health IT connectivity leader VisionShare® Inc. announces it has achieved full accreditation with the Healthcare Network Accreditation Program (HNAP) from the Electronic Healthcare Network Accreditation Commission (EHNAC). EHNAC’s HNAP accreditation recognizes excellence in health data processing and transactions and indicates compliance with industry-established standards and HIPAA regulations.
Through the consultative review process, EHNAC evaluated Minneapolis-based VisionShare in areas of privacy measures, systems availability and security infrastructure. In addition, EHNAC reviewed the organization’s process of managing and transferring protected health information and determined that the organization meets or exceeds all EHNAC criteria and industry standards. Through completion of the rigorous accreditation process, the organization demonstrates to its constituents adherence to strict standards and participation in the comprehensive, objective evaluation of its business.
“We are privileged to receive this superior level of accreditation. Securing protected health information has always been at the core of everything VisionShare does. We knew EHNAC represented a very high standard—that’s why we went through the stringent process to get here. It takes a certain level of agility to achieve the union of security and efficiency. Our team has done that—and EHNAC’s recognition of our efforts is both gratifying and empowering in reaching our future goals,” said Steve Smerz, chief security officer of VisionShare.
