The company is pleased to announce that its enterprise health platform (EHP), JUDI® - residing at Amazon Web Services US-East-1/US-West-2 - has earned certified status by HITRUST for information security.

"The healthcare industry has seen a significant rise in security threats over the past 18 months.

Capital Rx designed JUDI to consolidate all PBA-related workflows into a single, scalable system, be HIPAA compliant, and capable of meeting evolving state and federal regulations from day one. Using AWS' Reference Architecture, especially AWS Lambda, provides the security profile and scalability needed to offer plan sponsors a stable foundation for their pharmacy benefit programs.

"Trust is at the core of everything we do, so we aim to achieve the highest standards possible for JUDI and give plan sponsors, health plans, and our other clients confidence that their data are secure and accessible," said AJ Loiacono, co-founder and CEO of Capital Rx. "Leveraging JUDI, they never have to reimplement a pharmacy benefit plan again."

Capital Rx follows the NIST SP 800-53 cybersecurity standard, has SOC 2 Type 2 and SOC 1 Type 2 Reports available, and has received NCQA and URAC accreditations as well. The company continues to focus its R&D efforts on upgrading the nation's healthcare infrastructure to deliver the care patients deserve.
