Addressing Your HIPAA Compliance
Understanding your HIPAA requirements using Compliancy Group’s HIPAA compliance checklist is only the first step on your journey toward HIPAA compliance. The only way to effectively protect against data breaches and HIPAA violation fines is by implementing a HIPAA compliance program built for the needs of your business.
- Self-Audits – HIPAA requires you to conduct annual audits of your practice to assess Administrative, Technical, and Physical gaps in compliance with HIPAA Privacy and Security standards.
- Remediation Plans – Once you’ve identified gaps, you must implement remediation plans to reverse any potential HIPAA violations.
- Policies, Procedures, Employee Training – To avoid HIPAA violations in the future, you’ll need to develop Policies and Procedures corresponding to HIPAA regulatory standards. Annual staff training on these Policies and Procedures is also required.
- Documentation – Your practice must document efforts you take to become HIPAA compliant. This documentation is critical during a HIPAA investigation with HHS.
- Business Associate Management – You must document all vendors with whom you share PHI, and execute business associate agreements to ensure PHI is handled securely and mitigate liability.
