So, are
you in compliance?
By now, you probably are
well aware of HIPAA. You probably already know you need to be
compliant. You may even have engaged someone to assist you in
complying with parts of the Privacy Rule and or the Security Rule, did it yourself, or purchased a
HIPAA in a box product. These are all worthwhile steps in developing
your compliance to the various HIPAA rules.
However, HIPAA is more than
a form or two, and a few policies. Both the HIPAA Privacy rule and
Security rule demands
extensive documentation, relying on complex skills in everything from
business process modeling, to IT, to Information Assurance, to Risk
Management, to Business Continuity, and other forms of safeguards,
planning, and work flow design. The Privacy Rule requires
professional business analysts. The
Security Rule, requires information assurance professionals.
The Transaction and Code Set Rules, may require changing your core
business systems, with profound effects on your business. Is the
person you have managing your compliance up to these tasks? Few are.
Yet, how you begin, and
follow through with your compliance has everything to do with your
liability. Poorly equipped compliance officers means that your
business is at risk. Not just at risk from Federal enforcement,
though that is probably rare, but from civil litigation. HIPAA is
the standard of care throughout health care, covered entity or not.
Additionally, new safeguard
regulations and statutes are emerging, plus other existing regulations are
also present. While you may not be aware of them, they also pose
significant risk.
Don't you think you should
have someone evaluate your compliance? After all, you have someone
audit your financial records!

security, with more than 8 continuous years experience with HIPAA alone! We

Have you explored your regulatory overlap?
Do you know what other regulations apply to your organization?
Ignorance may be a crime!
It is very possible that
you are also covered under GLBA and/ or GCP. Complying with HIPAA
does NOT automatically make you compliant with other regulations!
