HIPAA Compliance Support & Consulting Services
Are you worried about becoming the next healthcare victim of a data breach?
If yes, you're right to be.
According to the HHS' Office for Civil Rights, there were over 3,700 healthcare data breaches of at least 500 records between 2009 and 2020. Moreover, judging by trends over the last decade, the risk is continually increasing.
As a health care provider, safeguarding patient information is now just as important as delivering excellent care. This is because failure to comply with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) can translate to fines and reputation damage.
While compliance is essential, achieving it is challenging and time-consuming. This is where we come in. At IntegraONE we offer HIPAA compliance support and consulting services that enable you to attend to patients confidently, with the knowledge that their personal information is secured.
HIPAA Compliance Consulting
Building a reputation as a reliable healthcare provider takes years, possibly decades. However, it only takes one slip up and a few minutes for all this to go down the drain. Unfortunately, this is exactly what happens when you breach HIPAA rules.
When it comes to HIPAA breaches, the biggest challenge is not lacking security policies. Instead, it's negligence and lack of awareness. As such, it's essential to offer continuous training and guidance to staff to prevent such incidents.
Our HIPAA consulting services are designed to ensure that this does not happen to your business. Whether you have a security team or not, we'll work with you. The purpose of such consultations is to ensure that your policies and procedures are cognizant of emerging trends and threats.
Moreover, with the guidance of our experienced team of HIPAA consultants, it will be much easier for you to remain compliant.
HIPAA Compliance Services
Do you find it challenging to attend to security-related matters? Don't worry. We have a wide range of services to help you achieve and maintain HIPAA compliance.
1. Risk Analysis
When it comes to cyberthreats, it's essential to understand that they may come in many forms. As such, it's not just about having a robust security framework. You need to identify and address vulnerabilities in your system.
The first thing we'll do for you is performing a risk analysis. Although there isn't an exact formula for doing this, our process involves the following elements:
- Assessment of current security framework and policies
- Threat/vulnerability identification
- Data collection
- Scope analysis
- Likelihood of the occurrence of threats
- The possible impact of threats
2. System Security Plan
A key part of our HIPAA compliance support is to help you develop a system security plan. This plan will govern everything to do with your security framework. It will cover:
- Security policies
- Security controls
- Timetable for introducing more controls
3. Risk Categorization
As an organization, it's important to secure all the information within your databases and systems. However, not all the information is equally sensitive. By performing risk categorization, we will divide data and information systems according to their sensitivity. From there, we'll ensure the most sensitive information is protected using the highest level of security.
4. Security Controls
Under the HIPAA security framework, there's an extensive catalog of security controls for institutions to adhere to. However, you are not required to implement all the controls but only those that apply to you. Once you determine the appropriate controls and meet the security requirements, you should document them in the system security plan.
Since HIPAA controls are extensive, determining the ones that apply to you may be confusing. Our experienced team of experts will assist you and document all the relevant security controls in your system security plan.
5. Employee Training
At the heart of your HIPAA compliance efforts is your team. Therefore, regardless of how robust your security framework is, it will likely be compromised if your team is ill-equipped.
In this regard, we will organize comprehensive HIPAA compliance training for your employees. Among the areas of focus will be the HIPAA Privacy Rule, the HIPAA Security Rule, and procedures for the HIPAA Breach Notification Rule.
Who Do We Serve?
HIPAA is a comprehensive security framework that covers all institutions that handle patient health information. So, whether you are a provider or healthcare business associate, our HIPAA compliance support extends to you too.
Some of the institutions we serve include:
- Hospitals
- Pharmacies
- Physicians
- Diagnostics
- Health information exchanges
- Software vendors
- Subcontractors
Don't Leave Anything to Chance
Each time a patient visits your facility, they place their trust to you. In return, they expect to receive the best medical attention and for you to safeguard their data. Often, focusing on one compromises the other.
This is why integraONE offers HIPAA compliance support and consulting services. We will take care of all your security and compliance needs, allowing you to focus on treating patients. So, reach out to us today to speak to a HIPAA compliance consultant.
Meet Our Customers
We work with businesses of all sizes and in a wide range of industries across Pennsylvania to build customized IT solutions — here's what they have to say!
We have built a great relationship with IntegraOne. I thoroughly enjoy working with Ian and the Integra One Engineers. What I enjoy most with our relationship is that I never feel like I am being sold products or services. We look at IntegraOne as part of our team.
We use IntegraONE for everything. I have known Brad [Rightmyer, VP of Service Operations] since he was a lowly tech, and he has worked his way all the way up to where he is now. We don’t want to use anybody else because they’ve always given us such great service.
Fantastic! Highly recommend. I was able to mail my laptop to IntegraONE due to mobility issues. The laptop was repaired and returned to me in a week. I'm very satisfied.
My son's Chromebook was fixed in less time than estimated which was amazing being that it is his primary tool for virtual learning! Customer service was great! Highly satisfied!
Our company is a little unique in that we are completely virtual but have close to 50 employees in the mid-Atlantic area out to Kansas City. We needed a MSP that could support our remote users with superior service. I believe we have found that with IntegraOne as their team is able to address our users helpdesk calls typically during the call using their remote login capability. They also respond quickly to our requests that are sent via email. Our servers are in the Microsoft Cloud and we utilize MS Office 365. The onboarding process and transition went very smoothly. Our onboarding was most likely different than others as they needed to accommodate us in our environment and touch each user’s system remotely.
IntegraONE has been a fantastic partner to us in everything else we've done, so [working with them on our move to SimpliVity] was just a no-brainer.
Our partnership with IntegraONE allows us to focus on the strategic initiatives of our credit union without worrying about potential technological errors. With IntegraONE, we are able to focus our efforts on the needs of our members and the communities we serve.
IntegraONE and the FusionOne Managed Services is an essential operation to our campus. Having the support of many different specialized technicians, I am able to provide members, guests, and staff with the technology needed at our world-class facility.
I am so very pleased with our progress. [Our IntegraONE engineer] is a delight to work with and has taken the time to explain what he’s doing, why it needs to be done, and answer my many questions.
IntegraONE has been providing our company with comprehensive managed services for 5 1/2 years, and they are terrific - knowledgeable, responsive, and friendly.
Since partnering with IntegraONE, we have been extremely impressed with their ability to understand and respond to our IT needs. Their engineers carry a high degree of technical knowledge spanning a range of products and services, supporting us remotely and onsite in a quick and easy to interpret manner. Our management is pleased with the increase in productivity, reliability, and the overall health of our IT environment since IntegraONE’s involvement.
They were very attentive to our needs throughout the entire process. Our IntegraONE sales rep was there throughout the entire process not just for the sales portion. Everything from the sales perspective, project management, and engineering were great. If I were to highlight anything as exceptional though, it would be the engineering services. And really, to me, that’s what it’s all about.
