Assured HIPAA and HITECH Compliance for Small Medical Practices
The imposition of increasing number of security and compliance regulations for the medical fraternity is a never-ending issue. Organizations struggle to keep their processes, policies and staff in-step with the vastly changing environment. The small medical practices suffer in comparison to the larger medical facilities as they do not have the finances to employ new solutions that are introduced constantly to keep their policies updated. This results in intentional and non-intentional violation of HIPPA and HITECH Acts invoking punishing penalties.
The use of mobile devices to facilitate the uninterrupted work flow of the employees has resulted in disastrous consequences such as loss and theft of the devices and caused concern about the security of the patient’s personal health information. The stringent HITECH Act has been enforced to ensure that this kind of callous attitude is shown no mercy. The penalty for violation of the HITECH Act can amount to $25,000 and can be raised up to $250,000 accompanied by a long term imprisonment.
