Regulatory Compliance is not a one time event!  It is a continuing process of monitoring, management, and process improvement.  What started with a single activity, will continue for the life of your organization.

You may have performed your initial compliance internally.  However, regulations and rule change over time.  Have you stayed up to date?  Have you continued to actively monitor best practices and the common body of knowledge?  Or are you relying on a trade association or other body?

Did you use a third party to perform you initial compliance and think that was it?  Are you in constant contact with them to address new compliance issues as they emerge?  Do they provide you with on-demand advice and guidance as challenges surface in your organization?

Frankly, if you performed you initial compliance and moved on, you are probably not compliant.  Compliance is a process not an event.  Compliance requires refinement and due diligence over the live of your organization.  Perhaps you have a compliance officer, but how much time is being devoted to compliance?  Most organizations d not have the time or experience to stay up to date on new changes in the regulations and organization's compliance without ongoing support.

What happens when you have an issue?  Who do you turn to?  Unknown participants on a message board?  Do they know your business, institution, local government, or organization? 

What happens when you receive a formal complaint inquiry, or worse are sued?  Who do you have that can help your attorney mitigate your compliance gap to reduce risk?

These are all pivotal question in the survival of your organization.  The risk of one time compliance is significant - it demonstrates disregard and negligence - critical tests for maximum penalties and civil liability.

Recognizing the challenges that face all Covered Entities, and the need for ongoing support - Dr. Tim McGuinness & Associates have formed a coalition of regulatory service providers, to meet the need for ongoing HIPAA compliance services.  We have created an affordable standard service to assure priority access to meet your needs.

The HIPAA Help Desk™

Many covered entities, have already begun their compliance activities. Some of these activities include partial GAP assessments and analysis, by internal personnel, as well as external contractors. However, as has been so often observed throughout the industry, it is important to validate all compliance work.

It is also important that as you move towards HIPAA Privacy compliance, that expert assistance be available as needed to respond to your new and emerging issues, both from within your organization, and from without in the country at large. Your personnel will need guidance, and mentoring to achieve full compliance at the least possible costs. Additionally, you will benefit from quarterly remote audits or on-site walk-through audits by an independent HIPAA specialist to highlight any observable issues, and to provide a forum for ongoing compliance discussion.

We are therefore pleased to offer our HIPAA Help Desk™ service to assist you in achieving your initial compliance, and to help maintain that compliance with HIPAA over time.
