A Guide to OpenEye Web Services and HIPAA Compliance

Ensure Your Video Surveillance is in Compliance

OpenEye Web Services (OWS) provides many benefits to IT administrators and users for managing and viewing video from recorders. If video or data containing information covered by HIPAA is transferred to or through OWS, it is important to understand how using OWS impacts your HIPAA compliance. For the video security industry, HIPAA primarily applies to the collection, storage, and dissemination of Protected Health Information (PHI). PHI is anything that can identify a user such as the patient’s name, address, video or pictures of the patient, medical records, etc.

The OpenEye HIPAA Compliance with Video Security document outlines the basic requirements for meeting HIPAA requirements with information about how OWS meets compliance standards as well as a list of configuration recommendations for OWS deployed in environments covered by HIPAA.
