Is there any spice heads that support Dental offices on a regular basis?<\/p>\n
The different software like
\nDentrix
\nEagle soft
\nOpen Dental
\netc…<\/p>\n
The dental it support arena seems to be less strict about security passwords, email, equipment is this what you all have dealt with?<\/p>\n
The dentist seem to be cheap when it comes to IT but I have been reading where Hipaa is going to get more strict with Dental offices as well what kind of a check list do you use for Dental client so they are hipaa compliant?<\/p>\n
What hardware firewalls , switches , access point , workstaions do you use and recommend?<\/p>\n
Do you know if any of the Dental EMR are not compatible with Win 11 pro yet?<\/p>\n
Any issues with doing inplace upgrade?<\/p>\n
How will this efffect hipaa if they dont upgrade to win 11 before win 10 goes eol in October?<\/p>\n
Any and all suggestions from you experience greatly appreciated<\/p>","upvoteCount":11,"answerCount":7,"datePublished":"2025-01-16T12:48:02.953Z","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"WarKraft","url":"https://community.spiceworks.com/u/WarKraft"},"suggestedAnswer":[{"@type":"Answer","text":"

Have you signed a Non-Disclosure Agreement with the Dental Office? If so, HIPAA should not be compromised.<\/p>\n
Make sure you have a copy of all of the software that is in use. Pull one machine and do an in-place upgrade. How did it turn out? Are all drivers resolved? Can you find drivers to make the machine work? Does the Dental Software still work as it should?<\/p>\n
Are the Win 10 machines compatible with Win 11? That might be a licensure sticking point. Can the Dental Office afford to replace machines if need be?<\/p>\n

I don’t, but I am thinking as soon as they ask a patient if they are allergic to any anesthesia or have high blood pressure, they are holding medical information that HIPPA covers, so they should certainly be at least aware of the implications…<\/p>\n
I know a lot of the satellite clinics around here that do outpatient tests thought it didn’t apply to them, and were somewhat unpleasantly surprised when they got slapped…<\/p>\n
How will this effect hipaa if they dont upgrade to win 11 before win 10 goes eol in October?<\/em><\/p>\n Badly - it is specifically addressed in the rules:<\/p>\n \"Healthcare providers must keep their software, systems, and devices up to date to protect patient data \"<\/p>\n …and then there are the liability issues…<\/p>\n
