New York, NY - What would your day be like if you lost all of your computer data? Patient records, scheduling information, payroll, claims, billing, and transcriptions are all safely stored on your computer. Suddenly, your system crashes and creates one of many possible data emergencies. Could you restore your system with your current backup tapes? Or do you even know what is on your current backup tapes?
There are many possible causes for data emergencies. Even offices with conventional tape backups are subject to hardware and software failure, faulty backup tapes and computer viruses, to name just a few.

CureMD, through its alliance with DataHealth, now provides comprehensive data backup and virus protection to businesses and health care practitioners nationwide. Business Development Director Andy Riedel is excited to be able to provide a complete solution centered on CureMD customers and the protection of their data.
"DataHealth offers a more cost-effective method of securing data." Riedel said. "DataHealth understands that data is the lifeline of any practice and DataHealth has the infrastructure in place to protect that valuable data. We are excited about the opportunity to provide this service".

"DataHealth shares in CureMD's commitment to help physicians improve efficiency and quality, while also providing security and privacy solutions", said Jenny Pemberton, Director of Development for DataHealth. This new relationship with CureMD reinforces DataHealth's commitment to offer the best technology to physicians at affordable rates.

While the service is available to any business, DataHealth recognizes a special need for compliance in the healthcare industry. The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) require medical providers to have a backup procedure compliant with the recently published HIPAA security standards. DataHealth can help physicians comply with these requirements as well as other comprehensive contingency plans that will be mandated by HIPAA.
