Education and Compliance Awareness
To help you understand the impact of HIPAA on your organization, we offer both executive/management and employee training seminars to educate members of your organization about HIPAA and to work with those in charge of compliance to understand the choices and strategies available to them.
Gap and Risk Assessments
Our Gap Assessment delivers a clear understanding of the gaps that exist in your major technical systems (e.g. records management, billing, accounts receivable, etc.) under the HIPAA regulations. We perform information, physical systems and investigative audits on technology systems to produce an assessment of the existing gaps. Our clients receive an executive summary as well as a comprehensive report that includes audit results, cost/benefit analysis and an assessment of major risk areas. Our Risk Assessment helps clients prioritize scarce dollars by analyzing risk versus cost.
Strategy and Remediation Planning
In helping to create a road map for HIPAA compliance, we emphasize selecting the 'right solution' in light of both technical needs and cost considerations. With our technologically agnostic approach, we use our expertise to help you make the choice that best meets the needs and constraints of your organization. We deliver a phased implementation plan, including scope, alternatives, costs, and timeframes. This deliverable, along with the Gap Assessment, provides a full picture of both the scope of the compliance problem and recommended solutions.
Remediation
Our Remediation program leverages the knowledge gained in the Gap Assessment and the Strategy and Remediation Planning phases as well as our technology expertise and years of technology experience to implement the appropriate technology solution for your HIPAA compliance needs. We can take a lead role in your remediation efforts, or work with your existing technical team to bring about compliance. Upon completion of the engagement, we transfer the knowledge we have gained about your systems to your IT team. This ensures a cost-effective on-going compliance management process and provides tremendous value your ongoing IT strategy.
Compliance Management
Most organizations add new systems or modify current ones on an ongoing basis. All of this activity has an impact on HIPAA compliance. In order to help ensure HIPAA compliance on an ongoing basis, we offer compliance management and maintenance services. We proactively review systems and infrastructure for HIPAA compliance, update security patches, manage firewalls, perform regular security audits, and otherwise reduce the risk of failing to comply with the HIPAA regulations, not to mention preventing unwanted systems intrusions or security breaches. The end result is reduced compliance costs as well as potentially significant cost savings from reduced liability.
