HIPAA Analytics Announces HIPAA Priority Support

Online, June 15, 2014 (Newswire.com) - HIPAA compliance for healthcare covered entities and business associates is becoming a risk management challenge. Today, business managers and compliance officers are tasked with growing responsibilities of conducting a risk assessment, monitoring business processes for compliance, managing privacy and security policies and procedures, data breach preparedness and coordinating compliance requirements with covered entities or business associates, to name a few.

In addition, new regulations and guidance documents require the compliance officer to research federal and state regulations. The U.S. Department of Health & Human Services for example, implements regulatory change via a process of public Notice of Proposed Rulemaking for modifying privacy and security rules, compliance and investigations, imposition of civil money penalties, and procedures for hearings issued under HIPAA, all of which must be monitored closely to maintain compliance relevancy and accuracy in a HIPAA program. Privacy and security oversight has reached a new level of demand and the time between an issue arising and when it must be resolved is shrinking fast in order to protect patients protected health information and the healthcare organizations exposure.
