The Big Misconception:

“I completed a Risk Assessment, I’m HIPAA Compliant.”  A Risk Assessment is only a part of HIPAA compliance.

ALL aspects of HIPAA are needed to pass an audit.

  • 70% of Covered Entities are not compliant
  • 79% of Covered Entities fail their Meaningful Use audit

Can You Trust Your IT Support Provider to Help You Comply With New Healthcare Industry Regulations?
