I would like to know how the privacy & security act under HIPAA will impact our current systems today? I support POS card/swipe machines that dialup (via an async/sync modem) over the public telephone system into a server that is connected to a private network. These machines (terminals) are located through out the USA in Provider offices, clinics and hospitals. The dialup protocol (VISA) is the same protocol that the financial processors use today doing credit/debit transactions. Are there any issues that I need to be concerned about from the terminal point of view?
The second part of my question, I would like to know how the privacy & security act under HIPAA will impact POS card/swipe machines that dialup (via an async/sync modem) over the public telephone system into a ISP that is connected to the Internet. These machines (terminals) are located through out the USA in Provider offices, clinics and hospitals. The dialup protocol will be either VISA or PPP (Point-to Point). Are there any issues that I need to be concerned about from the terminal point of view? --- The WEDI SNIP listserv to which you are subscribed is not moderated.
