  SPHER™ is a healthcare user privacy monitoring solution that aims to change the way patient data is secured. It represents the front-line prevention against the very real day-to-day threat of patient privacy violations resulting from inappropriate access to healthcare ePHI. As required under HIPAA, every comprehensive healthcare compliance strategy and MIPS initiative must include User Activity Monitoring, a requirement that SPHER is specifically designed to achieve. As a SaaS-based security solution, SPHER simplifies and automates the detailed monitoring of every record of the daily activity that occurs within any ePHI application such as an EMR/EHR. The SPHER detectors actively search for any suspicious behavior through a Multi-Phased analysis of the resultant user audit logs. Should any suspicious activity be detected, SPHER sends an alert, highlights suspicious events and defines the exact details surrounding each incident for investigation. The SPHER solution represents a consistent step-by-step policy & procedure process towards OCR/CMS audit-ready resolution and remediation. SPHER supports over 300+ clinical organizations across the States and within a wide range of healthcare industry designations including: Private Practice, Clinics, FQHC, Home Care, Mental Health, Critical Access Hospitals and major hospital groups.
