The purpose of using the Oasis Bridge software system is to allow the Covered Entity to manage their own PHI data. OTG maintains backup records and item level log records for all PHI records, commonly referred to as a Designated Record Set. The Covered Entity has access to all of their own data at all times by designated adminstrators defined in the system.
The Covered Entity determines who is an authorized user of the Oasis Bridge software system, granting access privileges to PHI data. The covered entity can modify or revoke this access at any time.
Oasis values privacy and serves as the only moderator of your data. If Oasis employs the services of another IT professional, the outside vender will be required to sign a business associate agreement with Oasis.
