ORLANDO, Fla., Jan. 3, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- VOXX
International Corporation (NASDAQ: VOXX), today announced that it
is now HIPAA compliant, a major milestone for the organization as
it continues to build out its strategic partnerships and product
offerings, for the healthcare and corporate wellness markets.
The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA)
is a federal law that provides data privacy and security provisions
for safeguarding medical information and other personal health
information. VOXX's move to become HIPAA complaint enables the
Company to more efficiently integrate with HIPAA-covered
organizations the Company does business with today, while expanding
opportunities with other HIPAA-covered organizations.
"We are committed to supporting HIPAA compliance and excited to
have reached this important milestone. Achieving compliance enables
us to create new relationships within the healthcare market, while
supporting existing opportunities with our strategic partners
operating in the healthcare space," said Tom Malone, President, VOXX Advanced Solutions
Corporation. "We entered the wellness category in 2016,
distributing Striiv's wearable fitness and activity trackers. This
partnership was the beginning and we later announced a national
distribution program with a major healthcare provider as part of
our agreement with Qualcomm Life. With HIPAA compliance obtained,
we are better positioned to leverage our logistics and distribution
capabilities as we work to expand our reach."
Our commitment to supporting HIPAA compliance positions VOXX
International with the capabilities to provide HIPAA-related
services to companies and organizations who operate in the
healthcare space. VOXX International will now be able to easily
enter into Business Associate Agreements with HIPAA-covered
organizations looking to expand their health and wellness programs
and who require the type of services that VOXX provides, including
forward and reverse logistics, inventory management, warehouse
distribution and shipping, as well as accounting and reporting
capabilities.
