Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise, a leading provider of communications, networking and cloud solutions tailored to customers’ industries, today announced that it has achieved compliance under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (“HIPAA”).
HIPAA requires companies to demonstrate their ability to ensure the privacy and security of protected health information (“PHI”). This entails the establishment and maintenance of administrative, technical, and physical safeguards that are designed to ensure the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of all PHI to which a company has access. In furtherance of maintaining its HIPAA compliance, ALE has committed to periodic re-assessments of its compliance policies and protocols.
HIPAA compliance will enable Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise to provide its RainbowTM communications solution to its healthcare customers for purposes of facilitating patient care.
“ALE has been proactive in taking on the critical role of protecting patient data and providing healthcare providers with the technology they need to deliver effective care. We take great pride in offering peace of mind to healthcare professionals and enabling them to focus on what matters most: their patients,” said Salvatore Zoida, Senior Attorney and HIPAA Compliance Officer at Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise.
Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise is a key networking supplier of switches, wireless products, network management, and security solutions for organizations of all sizes. The company also provides cloud-based solutions, enhancing its channels’ ability to address customer needs as they increasingly move to the cloud.
“Achieving this milestone allows us to extend the benefits of Rainbow communications platform, through its licensing model, to companies supporting the healthcare sector, which is a priority vertical for ALE. We are committing to our healthcare customers and will continue to propose the solutions they need while ensuring all the necessary protection for them to offer services in optimal conditions,” said Mike Mullarkey, Senior Vice President, Sales and Marketing, Americas at Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise.
