Security and Reliability

Security- Outcome stores and maintains the data in state of the art, specialized and highly secure facilities. Our programs comply with federal and international privacy and security standards –and all site information is confidential. Hospitals and practices retain ownership of their data and have ongoing access to view records and reports (including comparisons with aggregate data) or to download their own data.

Access to the Outcome system is based on defined user roles. These roles determine the specific menus, tasks, and information to which a user has access. Integrating this technology with standard procedures for user definition, password selection and changing and others, you can prevent unauthorized access and secure your information.

Outcome's security standards meet or exceed those established for Privacy-Act protected and/or other sensitive information sent over the Internet.

Reliability- Outcome offers a highly scalable, secure, and redundant facility with tested failover processes to keep your data protected. Outcome maintains system security through both physical and logical methods. Databases are maintained in a secure, access controlled and monitored facility. The mechanisms employed are in-band processes (encryption, authentication and intrusion detection), out-of-band processes (user identification, secure storage and back-up, data redacting, and non-modifiable audit trails), and system redundancy. Additionally, an external assessment of system security is routinely performed by an independent, expert third party.
