Protecting the privacy of patient information is a base requirement for healthcare providers, critical to ensuring patient satisfaction as well as compliance with regulations such as HIPAA, which require healthcare providers to assure that confidential patient information doesn't fall into the wrong hands. AT&T MPLS IP VPNs are one way to help meet this goal.

State-of-the-art IP VPN networks offer a flexible and easy path to migrate from legacy data networks to a highly secure and scalable IP-based infrastructure. And because AT&T's MPLS IP VPN is a network VPN, healthcare providers don't need to buy, install or manage extra equipment at their sites.
