Celeris Systems, Inc.

The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) required the Secretary of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to develop regulations protecting the privacy and security of certain health information. To fulfill this requirement, HHS published what are commonly known as the HIPAA Privacy Rule and the HIPAA Security Rule. Since the passing of HITECH in February 2010, both the Office of Civil Rights (OCR) and your states Attorney General have been very aggressive in pursuing non-compliant healthcare practices, regardless of size.

Through our extensive experience on us Department of Defense (DoD) IT programs, we know, firsthand, the potential of an effective IT enterprise to positively impact mission and operations.
