ORLEANS, May 16, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Safr
Care has completed the process to become HIPAA compliant in order
to better support its expansion into non-emergency medical
transportation, catering to patients who face barriers to
accessibility.
Compliancy Group developed The Guard to achieve HIPAA compliance
efficiently and effectively. With the Guard's superior total
compliance program, Safr Care has ensured the completion of
compliance obligations, the protection of patient privacy, and the
security of patients' personally identifiable information at all
times.
"After completing The Guard's comprehensive and
organization-wide Staff Compliance Training, Safr Care is proud to
be awarded Compliancy Group's HIPAA Seal of Complianceā¢,"
Syed Gilani, CEO of Safr, stated.
"Non-emergency medical transportation, and especially
wheelchair-accessible transportation, is often crucial to
maintaining the health and well-being of our most vulnerable
riders. Safr Care is a solution that allows patients to feel secure
in all respects, from experience in transit to the knowledge that
their personal information is protected."
Lack of reliable transportation is particularly problematic for
those facing disability, illness, and ongoing medical issues. Other
barriers may include the inability to drive or lack of vehicle
access. These issues are particularly prevalent amongst the
elderly. Safr Care's non-emergency medical transportation ensures
patients attend ongoing medical care appointments, which are vital
to patients' health and wellness.
Safr is currently expanding to New
Orleans, Louisiana. Sixteen percent of Louisiana's population of 4.6 million are over
the age of 65, and many of them require wheelchair-accessible
transportation. This number is set to increase; according to the
U.S. Census Bureau, by 2035 there will be a projected 78 million
people aged 65 years and older.
With Safr Care, customers can request a ride to their medical
appointments from one of many partnered transportation providers
with wheelchair-accessible vehicles, improving accessibility and
quality of life for wheelchair users in rural areas.
