Onstream Media Corporation, the leading online service provider of corporate audio and web communications, today reinforced its commitment to serving the healthcare community by announcing that its services are fully HIPAA-compliant. The HIPAA safeguards mean that all information Onstream transmits electronically on its customers behalf video, voice or text during webinars, webcasting, conference calls or other virtual meetings is handled in compliance with HIPAA regulations.

If your business involves storing, accessing or communicating personal health information, you are subject to HIPAA, the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act.
