Medical providers as well as their business associates are legally required to protect “Protected Health Information” according to the guidelines found in the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act and the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinic Health Act (HIPAA and HITECH).
With enforcement increasing, security threats on the rise, and a rapidly evolving technological landscape, HIPAA and HITECH compliance is an ongoing and constantly moving target, making it difficult to keep on top of the requirements on your own.
Aperion is able to simplify the process of achieving and maintaining on-going compliance through an enterprise-wide solution or the HIPAA ComplyPAK™ Compliance Management System, which substantially automates compliance efforts. For example, the ComplyPAK™ software addresses critical Privacy and Security mandates that should be a part of any HIPAA Security Audit.
Violations can seriously impact your practice, both in terms of your clients’ confidence and your expenses. Lofty fines await those who even unknowingly violate the requirements outlined in this act:
Note that these penalties are per violation. Moreover, violations that break multiple requirements may be counted as separate violations. It is possible for a provider to have multiple violations of multiple requirements, resulting in a total penalty greater than $1.5 million.
In addition to our network security audit, Aperion offers a comprehensive compliance solution through HIPAA Solutions, LC™: HIPAA ComplyPAK™
HIPAA ComplyPAK™ is a hosted compliance management system that provides remediation for any organization that needs to comply with HIPPA and HITECH rules and regulations. It automates legal and technical compliance and is accessible from any web browser at any time.
HIPAA ComplyPAK™ has assisted medical providers and their business associates in successfully passing the following types of audits:
