HIPAA-Compliant Printing Services
Nordis ensures HIPAA-compliant printing by implementing strict security measures throughout the print process. From data exchange to the final print, we secure PHI using advanced technology like 2D barcodes and unique sequential numbering. This ensures every document is accurately matched and handled with the utmost care, protecting sensitive patient information.
HIPAA-Compliant Mailing Services
Our HIPAA-compliant mailing services prioritize the security and privacy of patient information. We’ve invested heavily in a sophisticated insertion process in which our systems verify each package with cameras and barcodes, guaranteeing accurate and secure delivery. We use secure envelopes with internal tints, preventing visibility of enclosed documents, and transport mail in enclosed carts to guard against exposure.
