Part of the purpose of this Privacy Policy is to communicate our commitment to ensuring the safe use of protected health information according to HIPAA and to disclose what and how information obtained through the use of our website is gathered and used. Protected Health Information All Midland employees are trained and tested on procedures designed to ensure the protection of protected health information. Regular refresher training is provided to all Midland staff by Midland's Chief Compliance Officer or their designate. Specific measures are taken in all physical locations of Midland to ensure protection of protected health information. For example, our training directs us to secure all documents containing protected health information in locked cabinets when not in use. Documents containing protected health information are shredded when no longer needed. Employees who do not adhere to our HIPAA policies and procedures are subject to disciplinary actions up to and including termination. Midland uses a custom-designed database application to track, manage and document our work for every patient and potential Social Security client we encounter. The database is housed in a secure location and is protected with the most advanced technology available. A multiple rotation back-up system has been utilized to ensure a copy is always available. A refreshed duplicate back-up is kept in a secure off-site location at all times. All data is secure with the latest encryption technology, meeting or exceeding all current HIPAA data security standards.
