One of the most challenging tasks of HIPAA and HITECH compliance is gaining a sound understanding and interpretation of the legislation itself, along with implementing policies and procedures for ensuring compliance. Additionally, both a "covered entity" and a "business associate" often find themselves needing highly customized policy and procedure documentation for HIPAA and HITECH compliance, but lack the internal resources to develop this type of material. Furthermore, assistance is often needed for actually implementing the required controls and supporting procedures for further ensuring HIPAA and HITECH compliance. Add to the mix of the Final Omnibus Rulings of January, 2013, the need for top-quality HIPAA assistance becomes even greater.
NDB has spent years working with organizations in the healthcare industry and can provide you with the following services relating to HIPAA and HITECH:
• Readiness Assessments and Gap Analysis services: An important component of HIPAA and HITECH compliance is knowing what "compliance" actually means. Specifically, what systems and supporting resources are to be included in the scope, what personnel are involved, along with identifying and understanding many other critical areas.
• Policy and Procedure development: Regardless if you are identified as a "covered entity" or a "business associate," HIPAA and HITECH compliance is highly dependent upon having documented policies and procedures in place specifically related to many of the Privacy & Security Rule requirements.
Additionally, NDB can also assist in procuring the necessary technology resources in further helping assist with one's HIPAA and HITECH compliance requirements.
