HIPAA Compliance
Worried About Your HIPAA Compliance Strategy? Then It’s Time You Give Us A Call!
HIPAA compliance is one of the most important factors in modern healthcare IT. Set forth in 1996, the HIPAA act contains a multitude of regulations meant to help safeguard patient data, and guide healthcare IT professionals as they secure Personally Identifiable Information (PII) and Patient Healthcare Information (PHI).
Almost all medical professionals are required to abide by HIPAA guidelines – including hospitals, pharmacies, individual physician practices, dentists, medical business associates, health insurance companies, and more.
And though HIPAA compliance is critical to avoid fines that range from $100-$1,500,000 – or even jail time in some cases – many healthcare professionals fall short when attempting to comply with HIPAA guidelines.
