| DICOM File
Security and HIPAA Compliancy |
VSTAR
is comprised of two separate redundant file server locations,
one located in Tampa Bay, Florida and the other in Denver,
Colorado. Programmed to automatically store and synchronize
data to our servers, our nationwide network ensures your
data is available even in the event of a catastrophic Internet
failure. Powered by UNIX based G5 XServers, and clustered
using Xgrid, our system is one of the most powerful and
secure file storage arrays in the marketplace.
As part
of your package, MIS Solutions provides your facility with
a state-of-the-art VPN Router that allows 70 VPN
tunnels and 10 Simultaneous PPTP connections
for your staff, radiologists and other centers to connect
to you securely and within HIPPA law, without investing
in expensive hardware or a PACS server.
HIPAA
Compliancy
 VSTAR
employs military grade security protocols within its storage
and retrieval system. These protocols meet existing laws
and regulations regarding patient record confidentiality
as currently being established by the U.S. Department of
Health and Human Services (HHS) and as mandated by the federal
Healthcare Insurance Portability and Accountability Act
(HIPAA). Security of the network, storage facility, communications,
and storage access is addressed in several layers including
firewalls, filtering, digital signatures, encryption, and
access control technologies.
Benefits
* Fully
automated data backups at secure off-site facilities.
* Fully HIPAA Compliant connections and backup, giving you
peace of mind.
* No media to buy, rotate, catalog or store offsite.
* Data can be easily restored on-demand 24x7.
* Service costs are much lower compared to external media
and storage costs.

How
it Works
Click to enlarge
Easy
Setup
 After
performing a survey of your network and operations,
our technicians will come to your location and install
our proprietary network technology that includes a VPN
router that can support up to 70 VPN
and 10 PPTP connections simultaneously,
giving your organization the ability send your DICOM
images securely to dozens of different radiologists,
doctors or other centers anywhere via the Internet.
We
also co-ordinate and help your medical staff / off site
Radiologists configure their remote locations to access
your new, HIPAA compliant network.
Using
DICOM viewing software like the popular RA
600 Centricity™
by GE
Healthcare, you can simply send the DICOM image
to a Destination
through a VPN tunnel, programmed by our support staff
remotely with a simple phone call to our help desk.
DICOM Transmission
and Archiving
 VSTAR
uses an Enterprise Level solution to automatically download
your DICOM files from your site during off-peak hours.
Our package includes a small footprint UNIX mini-PACS
server that will act as a 'traffic director' for your
DICOM file backups. While your network is idle, VSTAR
automatically copies your files to the UNIX Server's
350GB buffer for upload to the MISS network. Your files
are then uploaded during the night, backed up and distributed
to two separate off-site storage facilities for extra
security and HIPAA compliance.

Imaging at your fingertips
Once your
account is activated, you can use your new Macintosh XGrid
Computer loaded with our revolutionary 3D rendering software
and DICOM database manager to link to your local and remote
network over your existing LAN and Broadband Internet Connection.
Our system
fully supports software commonly used by MRI imaging centers
and radiologists nationwide. By simply adding our server IP
and AE Title to your existing viewer, you can access your
archived files easily any time you need to. Internet Browser
based retrieval is also available for DICOM file downloading
and viewing from anywhere in the world. |
FAQ
What
is a VPN tunnel?
VPN
stands for Virtual Private Networking.
A VPN
Tunnel is an encrypted network connection to another network
over the Internet. When a DICOM is sent from your PACS or workstation
over the Internet to a Radiologist or Doctor's office, it is NOT
HIPPA COMPLIANT unless it is over a secure connection
such as a VPN (Centricity™
users, see HIPAA statement here).
What
is PPTP?
PPTP
stands for Point to Point Tunneling
Protocol. VPN's use authenticated links to make
sure that only authorized users can connect to your network, and
they use encryption to make sure that others cannot intercept and
cannot use data that travels over the Internet. Windows XP achieves
this security by using Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP)
or Layer Two Tunneling Protocol (L2TP). A Tunneling Protocol is
a technology that helps make the transfer of information over the
Internet more secure from one computer to another.
