Practical Help You Can Use

Your Turnkey Solution for HIPAA Compliance

Cybersecurity within the healthcare sector is currently facing unprecedented levels of risk. The aftershocks of recent ransomware attacks, notably on Change Healthcare, are still being felt, impacting thousands of healthcare providers and millions of patients, especially those awaiting prescription services. The final repercussions for the healthcare industry remain unclear, but the disruptions will likely continue for months.

There is an urgent need for enhanced measures to strengthen cybersecurity defenses. In response, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) has released updated guidance to equip healthcare entities with the necessary knowledge to counteract cybercriminals’ bold and aggressive strategies against the healthcare sector. Furthermore, HHS intends to implement HIPAA audits and amplify enforcement efforts to protect patient privacy and information security.

The introduction of this updated guidance, alongside the potential for HIPAA audits, should be viewed as beneficial opportunities rather than obstacles. A significant number of healthcare organizations require additional cybersecurity preparations, and many need assistance in this area.

Compliance with HIPAA audit log requirements, participation in a HIPAA IT audit, adherence to HIPAA security audit standards, and preparation for a HIPAA compliance audit are essential steps in safeguarding your organization against ransomware attacks and other cyber threats. These measures serve as a foundational framework for enhancing your healthcare organization’s security and privacy protections.

For those in the healthcare industry, HIPAA compliance is not only a legal imperative, but an ethical one. Your business is obligated to safeguard private information provided by patients, protecting it from threats like data breach and identity theft, whether it’s being used, stored, transmitted, or even disposed of.

This protects not only patients, but your business interests, as well. That said, HIPAA compliance training and risk assessment can seem a daunting task, especially when laws change frequently. You may be overwhelmed by the prospect of managing ongoing compliance issues.

This is where The HIPAA E-Tool® can help, with HIPAA compliance software designed to meet your needs now and in the future. We’ve covered all the bases, from policies and forms, to risk assessment, templates for business associate agreements, training and step-by-step instructions for compliance, and more. We have HIPAA compliance programs for providers, for business associates and for health plans, so no matter who you are, we have your specific solution.

The HIPAA E-Tool® is also updated as laws and enforcement trends change so you always know what you’re responsible for. Without proper HIPAA compliance, you not only risk fines and penalties that can harm your business, but also threats that could impact the patients you serve. Whether you are a covered entity or a business associate required to comply with HIPAA, our comprehensive and easy-to-use E-Tool offers the software solutions and peace of mind you need to meet legal and ethical obligations.

Inclusive HIPAA Risk Assessment Software

HIPAA covers a wide range of privacy concerns, from patient access and required data encryption, to business associate agreements and risk analysis, among other things. You not only need to comply with HIPAA, but you need a risk management plan in place that includes a security risk assessment, an inventory of protected health information and training.

While you could outsource such tasks to professional consultants, this is expensive, and you never know what kind of service you’ll receive. The HIPAA E-Tool® is designed to help you avoid the costs of third-party risk management and learn to do it yourself, better. You’ll learn more about your business, your specific risks, and your own level of compliance. An internal risk analysis and risk management plan which engages staff provides the added bonus of strengthening your culture of compliance.

It sounds complicated, but with The HIPAA E-Tool®, you have the best opportunity to pinpoint risk factors, create a comprehensive risk management plan, and ensure compliance. The risk management module offers simple, step-by-step guidance to help you complete your own risk analysis, now and in the future. If you want to manage risks, improve HIPAA compliance, and cut costs simultaneously, The HIPAA E-Tool® is an ideal solution.

Risks of data breach are at epidemic levels, and the consequences for companies that fail to comply with HIPAA can be severe. If you want to protect your business and ensure patient privacy, you’re sure to appreciate the many helpful and intuitive features offered by The HIPAA E-Tool®.
