HIPAA laws can be complex and challenging, but they are also increasingly critical for healthcare practices to understand and be in compliance. As more of your practice becomes digital in one form or another\u2014electronic health records (EHRs), remote patient monitoring, practice management systems, medical billing software\u2014your risk of a breach increases.<\/span><\/p>

Regardless of the size of your practice or facility, your organization will benefit from HIPAA Compliance. HIPAA Compliance helps address security issues before they happen. Multi-factor authentication, encryption, and telework preparation are all security measures that will help your organization prevent breaches. The future of health care is moving in a technological direction, and these security safeguards are essential; perhaps now more than ever.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) provides the standards for lawful use and disclosure of protected health information (PHI). That includes anything that can be used to identify a patient or a client in an organization that is subject to HIPAA laws, including names, addresses, Social Security numbers, medical records, financial information, and video or photographs where a person can be identified.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Under HIPAA you must:<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>

\u2022 Conduct annual audits to assess gaps in security or compliance<\/span>
\u2022 Create remediation plans if you identify any risks or gaps<\/span>
\u2022 Develop policies and procedures for how to comply with HIPAA, keep them properly updated, and train staff annually<\/span>
\u2022 Document all efforts related to HIPAA compliance, and produce them in the event of an audit<\/span>
\u2022 Document all vendors that have access to PHI, and execute legally binding Business Associate Agreements (BAAs)<\/span>
\u2022 Create a process by which patients will be notified if a breach occurs<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
