Backing Up your Data
Did you know... HIPAA requires that your organization keep a copy of your patient database records offsite? *It is critical that you perform a daily data backup.* You need to not only back up your eHCS data files, but you also need to copy your backup file to a removable media such as a flash drive, which your HIPAA security officer should arrange to have taken offsite. To back up your data you need administrator permissions With administrator permissions you see the Administration Tab
To backup your data to your desktop: Click the Administration Nav Tab Click the General Administration Page tab Click the Request Backup located at the bottom of the page The system will confirm your request receipt. You must return to this page during next business day to retrieve your backup file To save your backup file to your local PC: Wait for the system to prompt you to save your backup file The backup file is named Account_Backup.exe If you are able to rename your backup file, you should name it as in this example: Account_backup_mm-dd-yyyy.exe mm-dd-yyyy should be today's date. Click the save button. Copy this backup file to a removable media (such as drive D: or E: or F:). Take the removable media offsite. Be sure to bring it back to work for your next day's backup.
