The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) is a United States law that regulates the collection and handling of “protected health information” (PHI). Certain organizations called “covered entities” and their business associates are required to comply with HIPAA.For Sky Nurses, being “HIPAA-compliant” means that we offer a service that enables covered entities to collect and manage PHI in a manner compliant with HIPAA. As part of offering this service, Sky Nurses ensures that it operates in a way that is consistent and compatible with those laws and Sky Nurses’ role as a business associate to a covered entity user.Sky Nurses has developed the best practices, processes, and procedures for trauma case management and the medical repatriation of crew members. We have a team of experts to obtain the necessary travel documents, clearances and approvals for completing these very challenging medical transportation missions successfully and without incident.
