\n

Health IT is transforming our healthcare system. Healthcare reform, industry consolidation, and demographic changes have spurred a significant increase in the U.S. healthcare industry\u2019s use of technology to improve health and enhance the patient experience while trying to help control the ever-increasing cost of care. New players are emerging and cloud computing, social media, and mobile technology solutions targeting patients and healthcare providers are creating new opportunities.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

We\u2019re one of those cloud computing<\/a> providers, continuously improving and developing our solutions to achieve optimal security delivered with responsive management and client service. Online Tech provides fully compliant HIPAA hosting<\/a> solutions for healthcare organizations, healthcare SaaS (Software-as-a-Service) providers, and other related organizations in our HIPAA compliant data centers<\/a>.<\/p>\n

We invested in and passed a third-party audit designed to test everything – \u00a0including our technology, policies, procedures, employee training, security measures, access controls and more, in order to ensure we can offer fully compliant HIPAA cloud hosting<\/a>, colocation<\/a> and managed servers<\/a>. And, we\u2019ll sign the business associate agreement (BAA) with every healthcare client. For a comprehensive guide to HIPAA compliant data centers for covered entities and business associates, read our recently published HIPAA Compliant Data Centers White Paper<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The meeting will be held at the Tripp Lite World Headquarters at 1111 W. 35th Street, Chicago, Illinois. Register online<\/a> and view directions to the headquarters here<\/a>.<\/p>\n
