This will be achieved through a web-based, encrypted and secure messaging system that is fully compliant with the Electronic Health Records requirements of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA). The new system is designed to lead to improved health outcomes for patients and should result in lower rates of hospital readmissions. | | | | Date Created: | 10-16-2013 | | | | Agency ID: | 1046**13 | | | | ISL ID: | 000000051809 Original UID: 172804 FIRST WORD: Illinois | |
