Ensuring HIPAA and HITECH Compliance
With increasing federal emphasis on patient privacy and security requirements, it is more important than ever to implement and maintain best practices for protecting patient data. Provident Management Consulting’s (“Provident”) HIPAA & HITECH assessment and advisory solution tests all policies, protocols, and data systems, identifying vulnerabilities and providing a roadmap to quickly achieve compliance.
OVERVIEW
HIPAA and HITECH compliance are receiving increasing scrutiny and attention from federal and state regulators. At the same time, consumers hold high expectations for providers to properly handle patient information, and providers that experience breaches are often punished in the marketplace. Nationally, research indicates that the average total cost per breach was $6.75 million, with an average cost of $204 per affected record. Sixty-six percent of those costs were due to lost business as a result of the breach.
