Ensuring HIPAA compliance for your medical practice
At IT Medical Group, we understand the importance of keeping medical practices HIPAA compliant and protecting the security of ePHIs and PHIs. We offer regular HIPAA security risk assessments and analyses to ensure that your client’s records are safe and that your practice is in compliance with the law.
HIPAA security rule
The HIPAA Security Rule states the following regarding security risk analysis:
§ 164.308(a)(1)(ii)(A) “Conduct an accurate and thorough assessment of the potential risks and vulnerabilities to the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of electronic protected health information (ePHI) held by the covered entity.”
Every time you attest to meaningful use, a HIPAA security risk assessment needs to be conducted to satisfy the HIPAA requirement to keep your business compliant. IT Medical Group can help you sort through and navigate these sometimes tricky legal waters. We have solutions to keep you HIPAA compliant and your client’s health records and information protected. We’ll perform an in-depth HIPAA security risk assessment for you and check for any issues or foreseeable issues while we test the security of the system. We’ll be able to help fix any issues that may come up to help protect you from any fines, penalties, or audits that could come your way.
Audits
You always want to be prepared for an audit which can be performed at any time by the ONC. If you received incentive money without having performed a security risk assessment, you will have to pay back the money you received. IT Medical Group can help protect your EMR by running your risk assessment for you and providing the solutions to fix any issues we come across.
