Privacy versus Security:

It is important to understand the distinction between privacy and security.

Privacy in general refers to the restriction of access to personal information from unwanted parties.

In contrast, security refers to the methods by which an organization maintains the called-for privacy restrictions and limits access to patient information.

How PreViser supports privacy: The PreViser ID is the only code linking a set of information together as belonging to a specific non-identifiable individual. Behind the firewall at your office, all Patient information is known; behind PreViser's firewall, only patient numeric data is stored.

How PreViser supports security: Information and algorithms are kept securely behind firewalls, at both your practice and at the central PreViser servers. information is encrypted before it is sent over the Internet (outside firewalls), then "re-identified" only safely behind firewall at each practice.
