Keeping up with the ever-changing tide of government regulations in the healthcare industry can be tough, especially when you’d rather be focusing on the care you provide – not the paperwork. But if even one step is missed in maintaining your compliance with HIPAA, trouble for your business and your patients’ privacy could be just around the corner.
It’s important to have an IT professional on your side that specializes in HIPAA compliance to protect yourself and your patients.
Computer Help LA HIPAA specialists begin with using specialized tools to investigate the parameters of your IT systems. Once this investigation is complete, the scrutiny of our team moves to your documentation, written protocols, and physical setup. Each element that is examined plays a part in producing the overall picture of the compliant posture of your IT environment. When we have completed this thorough assessment, we deliver an executive level report that details your IT systems current compliance standing, issues that must be remedied, and suggested fixes.
