LIVINGSTON, TN – HITRUST r2 Certification validates Encore Healthcare’s commitment to strong cybersecurity and protecting sensitive data via the company’s Nexus platform. HITRUST r2 Certification demonstrates that the organization’s [system or business unit scope] has met regulatory compliance and industry-defined requirements and is appropriately managing risk.
“Encore Healthcare’s proprietary Nexus platform is integrated with every major ventilator manufacturer, providing 100% visibility to CMS Compliance requirements at the flip of a switch,” says Carrie Proffitt (pictured), Encore’s newly promoted chief development officer. “No more guesswork or juggling multiple disconnected systems.
“Most importantly, January 2026 has started the clock on when ongoing monthly compliance is required to continue billing—and if you can’t prove compliance, you risk losing vent revenue,” Proffitt continues. “Our platform ensures you have what you need to get paid, and we are coming to Medtrade to have meetings with several DMEs that have acknowledged they need us to survive these compliance audits moving forward.”
By including federal and state regulations, standards, and frameworks and incorporating a risk-based approach, the HITRUST Assurance Program helps organizations address security and data protection challenges through a flexible framework of prescriptive and scalable security controls.
“As the stakes around data security and privacy continue to rise, our customers need partners they can truly trust,” said Keisha Harper, COO at Encore Healthcare. “By earning HITRUST r2 Certification, we’ve validated that our systems and processes meet some of the most demanding standards in healthcare—so our clients can move forward with confidence.”
Vincent Bennekers, vice president, Quality at HITRUST notes: “Without consistency, transparency, and reliability, an information security assessment can’t provide the requisite level of assurances needed to make important business decisions. That’s why we focus on producing the highest quality reports available. Achievement of a HITRUST r2 Certification is an assurance that Encore Healthcare takes compliance and information risk management seriously.”
