The information on the Patient Portal is maintained by WCMG at its current physical location. Patient Portal is a secure web portal the uses encryption (a form of electronic security) to keep unauthorized persons from reading communications, information or attachments. Secure messages and information can only be read by someone who knows the right username and password to log in to the Portal site. Using the connection channel between your computer and the Web site, you can read, view or send information on or from your computer. It is automatically encrypted in transmission between the Web site and your computer. The data is on a HIPAA compliant VPN with high level encryption that exceeds HIPAA standards. While we believe that the IT infrastructure and data are safe and secure, it does not guarantee that unforeseen adverse events cannot occur. To the extent that it is possible, WCMG has undergone rigorous IT implementation and security standards.
