WEST SPRINGFIELD, MASSACHUSETTS — Haselkorn, Inc., a longtime provider of IT products and services to dental practices in Western Massachusetts and nearby states, announces it will partner with venture-backed AuthAir, Inc. to deliver its clients a practical proximity security solution to help address the growing pressure for practices to comply with the HIPAA Security Rule to keep sensitive patient data away from prying eyes.

“Many of our doctors and their staff are looking for ways to protect their patient data but they’re frustrated by the proposed tradeoffs in efficiencies, the hurdles to implement and the total out of pocket cost,” states Scott Haselkorn, CEO of Haselkorn, Inc. “AuthAir leverages their existing hardware and software investments, and easily integrates into their workflow without requiring huge retraining or reworking their procedures, and it does all this for a few thousand dollars in year one and costs even less in years two and beyond.”

AuthAir CEO Yaron Baitch concurs with the solution’s ease of implementation, explaining how a practice gets up and running, “The AuthAir Dental solution installs workstation software and specially encrypted Bluetooth dongles on each computer at the practice. Staff are provided individual tokens, uniquely assigned to each staff member, that can be worn clipped to a belt or kept in a pocket. The tokens silently communicate through encrypted Bluetooth to each AuthAir secured workstation. Staff log-ins and movement are tracked effortlessly, without any change to their standard processes, and a HIPAA-compliant audit trail is automatically created.”

Haselkorn goes on to highlight other reasons for the partnership, “AuthAir gives our clients more than just protection in terms of payback. The data AuthAir captures is made available to doctors in the form of extremely useful Business Intelligence. There’s an easy-to-query audit trail, one that also generates instant, easy-to-read reports. There are even several pre-configured reports leveraging AuthAir’s seamless tracking of staff and room utilization as an excellent way to guide practice management decisions. Moreover, doctors reluctantly acknowledge the high threat of embezzlement in dentistry yet they seldom set aside funds to protect themselves from this. By deploying AuthAir to bring their practice into compliance with the HIPAA Security Rule, they layer in internal-fraud protection at the same time. Each token is uniquely assigned to an individual and user system access is set up for specific machines during specific hours. When unusual activity is attempted or occurs, alerts on suspicious activity are generated to the practice owner.”

Baitch adds, “Practices who deploy AuthAir Dental will continue to see even greater use of the Business Intelligence as we deliver on a long list of additional reporting requests over the course of the next year. These will automatically be made available to practices in the AuthAir portal as part of the service, without additional charge.
