HIPAA Solutions
- Are you a healthcare organization trying
to meet HIPAA regulations?
- Do you need a cost-effective solution
for managing and communicating your policies & procedures?
Organizations bound by HIPAA are required to have adequate
security measures in place to ensure the confidentiality of
protected health information. This involves the creation and
documentation of detailed privacy and security policies &
procedures, which will serve as a guideline for all other
administrative processes. This is a difficult, time-consuming task,
best accomplished by taking an organized approach and using
recognized standards wherever possible.
On-line training is most efficient
Those policies and procedures are useless unless they are
effectively communicated to all employees (and contractors who
might have network access). For this reason, the HIPAA regulation
requires ongoing awareness training so that privacy and security
become second nature. People need constant reminding of the myriad
of new rules and potential threats, and this is most efficiently
done through automated means.
Spend less time managing
SecureAware is a powerful information security intranet that
provides the framework and most content required for the creation
and ongoing management of your organizational security policies and
procedures. It can help you quickly create a comprehensive
information security and privacy policy, based on
internationally-recognized standards, and make it accessible by all
employees via browser interface. Unlike text-based products,
SecureAware utilizes a database of policy "objects" that can be
arranged to form a complete policy. This makes it easy to track
changes and convert policies into effective awareness programs. The
built-in testing feature measures the users' comprehension of
policies and basic security concepts to help determine overall
security posture.
Reduce compliance costs
HIPAA is not a one-time event, it's the law. The most efficient
way to maintain compliance with the law is by incorporating it into
the everyday business process and automating any specific actions
required for compliance. Security and policy awareness must be a
continual process in order to maximize the effectiveness of the
security infrastructure and protected patient privacy.
