If you are a business operating in the healthcare industry, staying in compliance with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) laws is of utmost importance to you. Because you handle a large amount of critical information regarding your patients, HIPAA requires you to secure this data. Failing to ensure this compliance can lead to penalties, such as fines (which can go up to $2,50,000) as well as criminal liabilities. Because HIPAA standards are ever-evolving; it can be difficult to keep up with new technology and industry trends. By consulting a third party that has expertise in this area and that provides quality IT support to healthcare facilities on ensuring compliance, you can get tech support in San Antonio to stay in compliance with HIPAA laws.
To help you ensure your business is HIPAA-compliant, the expert can conduct a HIPAA Risk Analysis. The analysis is also a government requirement for tapping into funds available through Meaningful Use Stage 2. The analysis can help you find answers to the following questions:
• Is my business compliant with the HIPAA Laws? Am I prepared for a HIPAA audit? (Periodic audits of healthcare facilities are often conducted by bodies, such as the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS)or Office for Civil Rights (OCR)to check if the business complies with HIPAA requirements)
• How to comply with HIPAA regulations?
• How to maintain the compliance posture?
• Are we protected against cyber-attacks?
In addition to answering these questions, you can also get tech support in San Antonio to stay in compliance with:
• The Whistle Blower Law
