Networks Plus Wins Partners with Leading HIPAA Compliance Software Manufacturer - Network Security Expert, NPTG, Provides End-to-end Solution
Networks Plus Technology Group, a leading national provider of technology solutions, and HipaaManager, Inc., a well recognized and heavily endorsed leader in HIPAA Compliance, today announced a strategic distribution agreement. As part of the agreement, Network Plus will distribute HipaaManager’s two software product lines known as HCAT™ (HIPAA Compliance Assessment Tool) and RCAT™ (Risk Control Analysis Tool).
San Diego, CA (PRWEB) January 18, 2005 -- HCAT™ is co-authored by PrivaPlan
Associates, Inc. an organization endorsed by the California Medical Association,
the Connecticut State Medical Society, and the Louisiana State Medical Society.
Several state medical associations, trade groups and professional associations
including the Medical Society of the State of New York and Vermont Medical
Society also endorse HCAT™. HCAT™ is a web-based application tool that assesses
a current medical environment and corresponding HIPAA security compliance level.
The user-friendly software provides a clear, concise, easy to understand roadmap
towards reasonable and appropriate HIPAA compliance specific to the office in
need.
The strategic distribution agreement allows Network Plus to bundle
and distribute the HipaaManager products with their IT solution sets. This total
solution approach enables a more complete and cost-effective HIPAA Security
solution to all organizations affected by the upcoming April HIPAA Security
deadline.
This is an incredible opportunity for Networks Plus to partner
with a company that has received this level of endorsement from multiple state
medical associations. HipaaManager’s software platforms, HCAT™ and RCAT™, have
the capability of taking a very complex dilemma for medical institutions (HIPAA
compliance) and simplifying it for them, taking some of the pain and confusion
away associated with HIPAA Security compliance issues. This simple software tool
processes and documents ePHI specifications, revolutionizing the approach to
becoming HIPAA compliant. “The software is the TurboTax™ for HIPAA, and makes
compliance a cinch,” stated James Kernan, President of Networks Plus.
HipaaManager will leverage Networks Plus’ national distribution
capabilities as an established provider in hardware and software procurement.
Remediation and professional services are also core competencies for Networks
Plus, and will allow for turnkey solutions for the medical industry.

are extremely pleased to work with a well-respected technology leader like
Networks Plus," said Mike Sawyer of HipaaManager, Inc.
