MAKING THE MOST OUT OF HIPAA/HITECH COMPLIANCE CONSULTING

Derek Seymour • Sep 19, 2019

Times are changing, and as new laws affect the health care sector, you can’t afford any future issues due to non-compliance. Planning is essential to avoid unnecessary costs and save time. Though a federal mandate, at iHealthOne we believe this proactive measure will enhance the privacy and security of your electronic health records.

If customers establish you are HIPAA/HITECH non-compliant, you risk affecting their willingness to disclose essential health information to you. Thanks to HIPAA/HITECH compliance consultancy, you have no reason for any concerns. In this article, we’ll walk you through this essential regulatory process.

IS HIPAA/HITECH COMPLIANCE CONSULTANCY ESSENTIAL?

Whether a seasoned or new practice, it helps to accept guidance from a consultancy on all phases of compliance. A consultancy does extra research on the necessary and up-to-date information your staff require for implementation. It can provide further training for stress-free self-administration and subsequent compliance.

Consultant professionals conduct a risk analysis and advise on setting up safeguards to avoid HIPAA/HITECH violations. They provide detailed reports on risk exposure, as well as checklists and customized forms that suit your company. This includes breach notifications, disaster recovery, and risk management solutions. Consequently, this can play an important role in improving your health strategy plans for smooth operation.

WHO SHOULD CONSIDER HIPAA/HITECH COMPLIANCE CONSULTING?

If you’re an entity that covers or provides healthcare payments and treatments, and you have access to patient information, HIPAA/HITECH compliance consultancy is vital. This also includes subcontractors and healthcare business associates.
