With new HIPAA regulations going into effect on September 23rd, and the Affordable Care Act, or “Obamacare,” beginning its official rollout on October 1st, the health-care landscape has never looked more confusing. Two recent polls from the Pew Research Center/USA Today and the Wall Street Journal/NBC News bear that fact out.
WHAT QUESTIONS SHOULD I ASK OF MY CURRENT IT SERVICE PROVIDER?
- Have you performed a Privacy & Security Rule Risk Assessment recently to ensure you are HIPAA compliant?
- Have you been audited against all 54 HIPAA citations and 136 components?
- Do you have updated Business Associate Agreements with all of your partners, vendors, and subcontractors?
- What policies and procedures have you put in place to handle the use and disclosure of PHI?
- What methods of data storage, on- or off-site backup, and email archiving do you utilize? Are they encrypted and HIPAA compliant?
- Have you implemented a training program for your employees?
- Do you have systems in place to ensure ongoing HIPAA compliance?
