Let Complete Care IT help your organization meet HIPPA regulations and avoid huge fines.
In 1996, the Federal Government signed a law about HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act). This law contains the rules, regulations, and guidelines for safe-guarding and governing the use and distribution of medical or patient data.
HIPAA compliance is an important component of healthcare services, big or small. It is necessary to ensure personal information is safe but also challenging for most organizations to execute. Healthcare organizations need tools and guidance for both understanding and abiding by the law an easier process.
Meeting compliance of any law can be a daunting task for organizations. The first step towards attaining HIPAA compliance is understanding how it applies to your organization. The second step involves implementing technology, workflow processes, and staff training to help prevent accidental disclosure or HIPAA-related data breaches.
Here’s what a typical HIPAA compliance action plan looks like:
Risk Analysis
Risk Management
Authentication
HIPAA Training
