The first requirement in excellent service delivery is secure data access. HIPAA regulations require detailed accountability and minimum disclosure. Personal (possibly lifesaving) data is accessible by any AUTHORIZED user from any web enabled computer. 

• COMPASS strikes an important balance here. HIPAA compliance capability and ready access to vital information balance the need for personal privacy and safety
• HIPAA compliance capable system of processes and privacy groups
• HIPAA sensitive data access is on a need to know basis
• HIPAA security access is definable by system management
• HIPAA security is enhanced by automatic logout of users after a specified period of time
