MI, UNITED STATES, September 4, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Ambs Call Center, the 93-year-old medical answering service trusted by hospitals and physician groups nationwide, today announced successful completion of an independent HIPAA audit covering the Privacy, Security and Breach Notification Rules. The milestone underscores Ambs Call Center’s dual commitment to compliance and compassion, introducing new measures that track every agent’s “empathy index” alongside HIPAA key-performance indicators (KPIs)—a first in the healthcare contact-center industry.
“Protecting electronic PHI is table stakes; communicating with empathy is the differentiator,” said Aaron Boatin, President of Ambs Call Center. “By measuring both compliance and compassion, we give providers confidence that every patient interaction is secure, respectful, and human.”
